The appellants appealed the City of Mississauga's Official Plan Amendment 182, which updated the definition of 'Employment Areas' to align with the Planning Act and Provincial Planning Statement, thereby excluding hotel uses.

The parties reached a settlement to modify OPA 182 to remove two of the appellants' hotel properties from the Employment Area designation, while retaining a third property within it.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the modifications constituted good planning, were consistent with provincial policies, and approved the amendment as modified.

The appellants appealed the City of Mississauga's passing of Zoning By-law No. 0121-2020, which introduced new office zones and permitted uses.

The parties reached a settlement and presented a draft Zoning By-law Amendment to the Tribunal.

Based on the uncontradicted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the settlement and draft amendment were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the Growth Plan, and maintained the intent of the applicable official plans.

The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part to implement the settlement.
