City Council accepted a without-prejudice settlement offer for 2912-2926 Sheppard Avenue East<\/a>, advancing a revised mixed-use proposal on the north side of Sheppard, east of Victoria Park Avenue in Scarborough’s L’Amoreaux area. Designed by architects\u2014Alliance<\/a> for Hazelview Investments<\/a>, the settlement reduces the tower from 50 storeys to 46 storeys, lowering the height from 164.3m to 150.5m, and decreasing the unit count from 590 to 544 residential units, alongside 258m\u00b2 of commercial space. Council directed the City Solicitor to attend the OLT in support of the settlement, with the final Order to be withheld pending the final Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment wording, and continued discussions around a potential in-kind contribution under the City’s Community Benefits Charge By-law are decided.<\/p>\n
A with-prejudice settlement offer was accepted for 5051-5061 Yonge Street<\/a>, revising plans for a mixed-use condominium tower at the northeast corner of Yonge Street and Hillcrest Avenue in the North York City Centre area.

A without-prejudice settlement was accepted for St Clair-Old Weston Station TOD<\/a>, advancing a major mixed-use condominium proposal at 2-4 and 80 Union Street, beside the future St Clair-Old Weston GO station<\/a> in the Stockyards District.

The updated plans would also increase office space from 2,901m\u00b2 to 6,009m\u00b2, while retail space would decrease from 601m\u00b2 to 487m\u00b2. The Tribunal Order is to be withheld until the City is satisfied with the final Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. Council also authorized the parkland dedication requirement to be satisfied through cash-in-lieu.<\/p>\n
