C. Boer

The appellant appealed the Town of Grimsby's approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment intended to facilitate a 44-unit residential infill development.

Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement that modified the by-law to address the appellant's concerns regarding privacy and overlook by restricting second-floor windows and projections on specific lots.

The Tribunal accepted uncontroverted expert planning evidence that the modified by-law is consistent with provincial policies, conforms to applicable official plans, and represents good land use planning.

The appeal was allowed in part to implement the settlement.

A Case Management Conference was held regarding remaining site-specific appeals to the City of Hamilton's Official Plan Amendment No. 69 and Zoning By-law Amendment No. 17-240.

Several appeals were withdrawn, bringing the amendments into force for those lands.

The Tribunal scheduled a six-day video hearing for October 2023 for one appellant and directed the remaining appellants to file hearing requests or settlement documents by March 2023.

The Ontario Land Tribunal issued an amending decision to correct a technical or typographical error in the Titles of Proceeding of a previous decision issued on June 25, 2021.

The correction was made pursuant to Rule 24.4 of the Tribunal's Rules of Practice and Procedure.

In all other respects, the original decision remains unchanged.

The Tribunal held a fourth Case Management Conference concerning appeals of the City of Hamilton's Official Plan Amendment No. 69 and Zoning By-law Amendment No. 17-240.

The parties agreed to split the appeals into City-wide appeals and site-specific appeals.

The Tribunal approved the scoping of the appeals, scheduled a five-week hearing for the City-wide appeals, and issued the associated Procedural Order.
