Tribunal finds proposed residential development will have no negative impact on natural heritage and hazard lands.
The appellant appealed the City of Vaughan's failure to make a decision on applications to permit a multi-storey residential building containing 490 units.
In this Phase 2A hearing, the Tribunal considered threshold issues regarding natural heritage and hazard lands, including significant valleylands, significant woodlands, significant wildlife habitat, and floodplains.
The Tribunal found that the appellant's evidence established that the proposal would have 'no negative impact' on these features and functions, maintaining consistency with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024.
The Tribunal directed that the appeals advance to a Phase 2B hearing to consider remaining land use planning issues.
