Tribunal approves settlement for 10-storey residential development, finding it consistent with provincial and municipal planning policies.
The applicant appealed the City of Markham's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit a 10-storey residential building.
The parties reached a settlement and presented the revised instruments to the Tribunal.
Relying on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan and applicable official plans, and represents good planning.
The appeal was allowed and the planning instruments were approved.
