The applicant appealed the Town of The Blue Mountains' failure to adopt an Official Plan amendment and neglect to make a decision on a Zoning By-law amendment to permit a 37-unit residential farm co-operative.
In Phase 1 of the hearing, the Tribunal considered the principle of the land use.
The Tribunal found that the proposed co-operative, which maintains approximately 65% of the land for open space, recreational, and agricultural uses, complies with the County of Grey Official Plan's policy encouraging innovative rural development.
The appeals were granted, and the amendments were approved.
