The applicant appealed the Town's failure to make a decision on a Zoning By-law Amendment application to permit a townhouse development.

Prior to the hearing, the applicant and the Town reached a settlement for a revised 54-unit development.

Three self-represented parties opposed the settlement, raising concerns about compatibility, setbacks, and traffic.

Relying on the uncontested expert evidence of the applicant's land use and transportation planners, the Tribunal found the proposal consistent with provincial policies, in conformity with regional and local official plans, and representative of good land use planning.

The appeal was allowed in part to amend the zoning by-law in accordance with the settlement.

The Applicant appealed the Town of Oakville's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a three-storey, 14-unit residential condominium building.

The Subject Property is located within the Trafalgar Road Heritage Conservation District.

The Tribunal found that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan, and is compatible with the existing and planned built form context.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part and approved the amendments in principle, withholding the final order pending the parties' agreement on the final form of the instruments.
