Three towers will respect escarpment height and be designed to minimize visual contrast with escarpment.
City and IN8 Developments continue to work to reach agreement on final Site Plan.
Medallion Developments plans new rental towers and townhomes to replace the existing plaza at 399 Greenhill.
Lawyers for Mac/Knightstone state “Good progress has been made towards resolution.” Their “client believes that asking the Tribunal to approve the plans/drawings and conditions of approval would be the preferred route forward.”
Niagara Escarpment Commission says the plan is not in keeping with the Niagara Escarpment Plan. St. Joseph’s Hospital is now an added party to the appeal.
City Planning Staff and IN8 Developments are negotiating final details of Site Plan. Final plan will likely go to Committee of Adjustment for minor variances.
Council approved the deal in closed session Wednesday, details not yet public.
SmartCentres is planning to begin conversion of its Barton and Centennial (Food Basics) Plaza into a mixed-use community beginning with four mid-to-tall buildings.
Members of the public wishing to participate in the OLT appeal must register in advance.
The Ontario Land Tribunal is expected to approve next week, the deal including protections for existing tenants with condition no building permits will be issued unless the City is satisfied tenants are properly relocated.
