Deadline looms for Burlington council decision on proposed 29-storey building

City has until March 30 to make decision on Official Plan, zoning bylaw amendments

Council is under a time crunch to make a decision on a property in Burlington’s Aldershot neighbourhood.

Halton Standard Condominium Corporation submitted an Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendment application for 1026 Cooke Blvd. on Dec. 1, 2023. The review period for these amendments is 120 days, which would require council to make a decision on the property by March 30.

I read this as well and thought it was interesting (and perhaps refreshing) in that the Mayor and other councilors are questioning planning staff on why they are pushing to reduce the height of the building from 29 to 22 stories in an area adjacent to a go train station within the cities defined MTSA. Planning staff had a reasonable argument for the reduction, but whether it should be accepted for a building within the MTSA is another question.

This was approved by Burlington council at 24 storeys.

huh? council issued a decision in March, how have they already revised it to 29?

Also - I love How the Mayor frames a 20% reduction in floors as "hearing the developer" right next to a GO station. I'm sure it'll go as well as Related's application at James and Brant which was chopped from 23 to 18 by Council.. which is absolutely nothing.

No clue. The official development page was updated and now says 29 storeys.

I think that's just the original application. Council modified the final by-law to be 24 instead of 29 on the council floor, it wasn't an applicant-led change, which means submission materials haven't changed. The only "update" on the application page would be to change it's status to approved.

It remains approved at 24 storeys as far as I can tell, though I wouldn't be surprised if the applicant appeals the decision in an effort to get their original ask.
