Appeal of zoning by-law amendment for school redevelopment allowed in part to require revised site plan.
The appellant appealed the Town's approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate the redevelopment of a former school site into a seniors' residence, an Early ON Family Centre, and five eightplexes.
The appellant argued the public process was flawed due to COVID-19 restrictions and that the existing play area should be preserved as a municipal park.
The Tribunal found the public process complied with statutory requirements and emergency orders.
The Tribunal also determined the play area was not a municipal park and the development represented good land use planning by providing affordable and seniors' housing.
The appeal was allowed in part on an interim basis to require a revised conceptual site plan and draft by-law.
