Appeal of zoning by-law amendment allowed in part to implement settlement exempting prior complete applications.
The appellant appealed a town-wide housekeeping amendment to the comprehensive Zoning By-Law that increased the minimum lot frontage requirement for back-to-back townhouse dwellings.
Prior to the adoption of the amendment, the appellant had submitted a complete development application that met the original lot frontage requirements.
The parties reached a settlement to include a footnote in the amendment exempting applications deemed complete prior to its adoption.
The Tribunal accepted uncontested expert planning evidence that the amended by-law represents good planning and allowed the appeal in part to implement the settlement.
