Appeal allowed in part to approve a settlement facilitating a commercial refuelling station.
The appellant appealed the Town of Fort Erie's refusal of a Zoning By-law Amendment application to permit a commercial refuelling station for transport trucks.
Prior to the merit hearing, the parties reached a settlement on a revised proposal.
Based on uncontradicted expert land use planning evidence, the Tribunal found the revised proposal optimized the use of existing land and infrastructure and was consistent with provincial and regional policies.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part and approved the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.
