The OMB decision for PL160081 is dated March 21, 2018.  It is a 34-page report, accessible here.  The OMB Member found for the appellant with some minor amendments:
  1. Reduction to the number of storeys from 18 to 17
  2. Removal of balconies on the south side of the building from levels 13 to 16

Generally speaking there were four arguments against this development. 

The City challenged its height, arguing that a transition downwards in height is expected from Spadina westward into the interior of the neighbourhood.  The Member felt that “the Official Plan does not require the immediacy of regimented transition downwards or upwards to what is adjacent, or nearby, to a proposed development but rather, requires transition that achieves the broader planning and design objectives of the Official Plan”.  With that understanding, the Member recommended a reduction in height from 18 to 17 stories … a height equal to but not greater than that of the Fabrik condominium.
