Settlement approved modifying Official Plan to direct applicants to host Public Information Meetings before submitting applications.
The Building Industry and Land Development Association appealed the Town of Oakville's adoption of Official Plan Amendments 53 and 329, which updated policies in response to Bill 109.
The parties reached a settlement modifying the amendments to direct that applicants should host Public Information Meetings prior to submitting development applications.
Based on uncontested planning evidence, the Tribunal found the modifications represented good planning by formalizing a process for early public engagement.
The appeal was allowed in part to approve the modified amendments.
