The Local Planning Appeals Tribunal (LPAT) is the new body replacing the OMB.  However this particular application was appealed before the OMB was disbanded and will be subject to the old OMB processes and rules, despite the name change.  
No pre-hearing date has been set yet but the City has produced this REQUEST FOR DIRECTION REPORT outlining its stand going forward.  It will be presented to the Toronto and East York Community Council on June 6.  

This meeting followed the usual format with Joe Cressy's intro, the City planner's overview and the developer's detailed description of the project.  Unlike other development presentations, this was the only one that evening and it received a full hour and a half rather than the usual hour.
​This commercial (no condos) development is definitely complex with the retention of heritage office buildings (which will continue to operate during construction) and a set of overlays that bridge the various structures. From my perspective, the complexity was best visualized by a small 3D printed model ... kudos there.

Next step will be a community consultation meeting.  Stay tuned.

On June 27th we were treated to a pre-application presentation for a development at 590 King Street (the building that houses Lee Valley).  It will be a commercial building (not a condo) and will maintain the heritage building and stretch north to Adelaide, incorporating the parking lot currently on the SE corner of Adelaide and Portland.  
Because an application for this development has not yet been submitted to the City, there is no supporting documentation at this time.  However, Christina Peltier, Urban Planner at KFA Architects and Planners Inc. forwarded these renderings for us to share:
