Eldon C. Theodore

The applicant appealed the failure of the Township of Severn and the County of Simcoe to make decisions on applications for a Zoning By-law Amendment and a Draft Plan of Subdivision for a proposed mixed residential neighbourhood.

The parties reached a settlement agreement.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the revised instruments are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conform to the applicable Official Plans, and represent good planning.

The appeals were allowed in part to approve the revised Draft Plan, Conditions, and Zoning By-law Amendment.

The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a residential building.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part and approved the amendments in principle, withholding its final order pending finalization of the instruments and technical reports.
