Appeal of education development charges by-law dismissed; school board reasonably excluded leased capacity from calculations.
The Building Industry and Land Development Association appealed the Toronto Catholic District School Board's Education Development Charges By-law 2023 No.195.
The appellant argued that the School Board failed to meet statutory eligibility requirements by excluding the capacity of leased secondary schools from its calculations.
The Tribunal found that the School Board acted fairly and reasonably, in accordance with the legislation and Ministry guidelines, by excluding leased capacity from its determination of total capacity.
The appeal was dismissed and the by-law remains in force.
