The applicants brought a motion for directions under the Planning Act seeking a determination that their applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment were complete.
The City of Hamilton had deemed the applications incomplete based on four outstanding items, including reformatted energy and financial reports, a recreation and school assessment, and sub-watershed planning.
The Tribunal found that the substance of the reports had already been provided and that the additional requirements were unreasonable for the purpose of deeming the applications complete.
The motion was granted and the applications were deemed complete.
