ONTARIO LAND TRIBUNAL (OLT) DECISION MADE - SCARDRED 7 COMPANY LIMITED, 4038 AND 4052 HIGHWAY 7 EAST (WARD 3) (10.5) (10.7) 

Summary from the City Solicitor:

On June 1, 2023, the Ontario Land Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) approved and issued an order regarding the settlement between Scardred 7 Company Limited (the “Appellant”) and the City of Markham with respect to an appeal by the Appellant from the City’s non-decisions regarding applications to amend the Official Plan (“OPA”) and the Zoning By-law (“ZBL”) at 4038 & 4052 Highway 7 East, located on the north side of Highway 7 East, east of Village Parkway (the “Subject Lands”).

The OPA and ZBL proposed a mixed-use development consisting of a ‘U-shaped’ building with a tiered building height that ranges from two-storeys to 11-storeys with 450 residential units, a landscaped courtyard, and ground related retail along Highway 7 (the “Proposed Development”). 
The Tribunal approved a settlement which revised the Proposed Development to include: a mixed-use residential building with a maximum height of 12-storeys or 45 metres, a maximum of 2-storeys facing Alfredo Street (North of the Subject Lands), a minimum outdoor amenity space of 2.0 m2/unit, and a maximum of 570 dwelling units.  

In its decision, the Tribunal allowed the appeals of OPA and ZBL and ordered those planning instruments be assigned a number. The OPA modifies the existing site specific permissions in Section 9.19.9 g) of the City’s Official Plan to permit the Proposed Development of a mixed-use building with a maximum height of twelve (12)-storeys and a maximum site density of 4.20 FSI on the Subject Lands. The ZBL deletes the Subject Lands from the designated area of By-law 118-79, as amended, and incorporates them into the designated area of By-law 177-96 and zones them to permit the Proposed Development. As the Tribunal has issued its final decision, the OPA and ZBL now requires assignment of By-law numbers for administrative tracking purposes.
(By-Law 2023-94 and By-Law 2023-96)
