Councillors on the city’s planning committee, which is responsible for approving changes to how high buildings are allowed to go, agreed to rezone the property Monday after the firm changed their proposal to a seven-storey building.
The builder had initially appealed to the provincial body that has the power to overturn city planning decisions, the Ontario Municipal Board, on the grounds that they didn’t receive a response in a timely manner.

The application for rezoning will now go to city council.
