Tribunal schedules settlement hearing for community benefits charge by-law appeals after withdrawal of jurisdictional challenge.
The appellants appealed the Town of Oakville's adoption of a Community Benefits Charge By-law under s. 37(17) of the Planning Act.
At the first Case Management Conference, the Tribunal was advised that a settlement had been reached among most parties, but one appellant raised an issue regarding the Tribunal's jurisdiction to vary the prescribed 4% charge.
The Tribunal directed that appellant to bring a motion on the jurisdictional issue and scheduled a second Case Management Conference.
The appellant subsequently withdrew its appeal, and the Tribunal converted the scheduled hearing to consider the settlement among the remaining parties.
