March 20, 2020 - Today, the City of Pickering is claiming a landmark victory in preserving the unique character of its waterfront with the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal’s (LPAT) dismissal of a condominium development application for an 8-storey condominium building at Frenchman’s Bay.

After considering the evidence and submissions over the past two years, the LPAT sided with the City of Pickering and ruled that the development application for 1280-1294 Wharf Street and 607 Annland Street did not conform sufficiently to the intended direction, legitimate land use planning framework, and vision set out in the City of Pickering’s Official Plan.  In essence, the City had successfully argued that an 8-storey condominium building was just not appropriate for its waterfront.
