Quote:In conclusion, the Board finds that OPA 109 and the ZBLA are consistent with the PPS and conform to the Growth Plan, the 1995 ROP and the in-force City OP, as well as complying with the City’s Urban Design Guidelines. The Board has also had regard to the 2015 ROP and the new City OP and finds that OPA 109 and the ZBLA are consistent with the direction in these new policies. Overall, the Board is satisfied that the proposed development represents good land use planning and will contribute to the City’s policy objectives for the area, including high density residential and office uses close to transit and a lively and liveable Downtown. The Board is also satisfied that, should the Arthur Place lands be assembled in the future, there will also be opportunities for intensification on the Arthur Place lands consistent with these objectives.
