Tribunal approves settlement for rural residential lot creation and reduced minimum distance separation setback.
The applicants appealed the County's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment and failure to make a decision on consent applications to create two new rural residential lots and reduce the Minimum Distance Separation setback from an adjacent horse barn.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the applications consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, in conformity with the Growth Plan and the County's Official Plan, and in keeping with the Minimum Distance Separation Guidelines.
The Tribunal approved the settlement, allowing the appeals in part to amend the zoning by-law and grant provisional consent subject to conditions.
