The applicant appealed the City's failure to make a decision on Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications to permit an 11-storey mixed-use residential building.

The parties reached a settlement prior to the hearing.

Based on uncontested expert planning, urban design, and transportation evidence, the Tribunal found the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms with the Growth Plan and applicable Official Plans, and represents good planning.

The appeals were allowed in part to implement the settlement.

This was a Case Management Conference regarding an appeal of the Township's refusal to amend a zoning by-law to permit parcels of land to be considered as one lot and identify shoreline activity areas.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a Case Management Conference regarding appeals by the applicant against the respondent's failure to make decisions on applications for an official plan amendment, zoning by-law amendment, and plan of subdivision.

The Tribunal granted party status to the regional municipality and participant status to three local residents.

A 15-day hearing was scheduled for March 2024, and a Procedural Order was issued to govern the proceedings.

The appellants appealed the municipality's denial of a zoning by-law amendment application to remove a holding symbol from their property.

During a status update hearing, the Tribunal granted participant status to an adjacent property owner who raised concerns about a shared laneway.

The parties advised they were close to resolving the matter, and the Tribunal scheduled a further status update.

The applicant appealed the municipality's failure to make a decision on applications for a zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision within the statutory timeframes.

At the first Case Management Conference, the Tribunal granted Party status to a neighbouring developer, limited to issues of servicing and infrastructure, and granted Participant status to a local resident.

The Tribunal declined to schedule a hearing date, finding it premature without a finalized Procedural Order and Issues List, and instead scheduled a further Case Management Conference and set deadlines for the parties to confer and submit draft procedural documents.
