Hearing dates vacated and new Case Management Conference scheduled to facilitate settlement discussions.
At a Case Management Conference concerning appeals of the Town of Fort Erie's Official Plan Amendment No. 56 and Zoning By-Law Amendment No. 144-2021, the appellants requested an adjournment of the scheduled hearing dates to facilitate ongoing settlement discussions.
The Tribunal granted the request, vacating the August 2024 hearing dates and scheduling a further Case Management Conference.
Tribunal grants partial approval of secondary plan and zoning by-law, excluding site-specific appealed properties.
The Town of Fort Erie brought a motion seeking partial approval of Official Plan Amendment No. 56 (the Crystal Beach Secondary Plan) and Zoning By-law No. 144-2021, bringing them into force except for the specific properties under appeal.
The Tribunal applied the four-part test from Casertano and found that the planning evidence supported the secondary plan, the remaining appeals were scoped to site-specific properties, the draft order protected the remaining appeals, and partial approval was in the public interest to allow other development applications to proceed.
The motion was granted.
