Tribunal approves settlement for 49-lot residential subdivision and enlarged parkland in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The applicants appealed the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake's failure to make a decision on applications for a zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision within the statutory timeframes.
The applications sought to permit a 53-lot residential subdivision.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement for a revised proposal consisting of 49 residential lots and an enlarged park block.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the settlement proposal consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the Growth Plan and local official plans.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part to approve the revised draft plan and zoning by-law amendment.
