Zoning by-law amendment for accessory structure with reduced watercourse setback approved on consent.
The appellant appealed the Township's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment to permit an accessory building with an increased maximum area and a reduced setback from a watercourse on a rural residential lot.
The parties reached a settlement prior to the hearing.
Based on uncontroverted expert planning evidence and a Natural Heritage Evaluation demonstrating no negative impacts on adjacent natural features, the Tribunal found the proposed amendment consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the Growth Plan and applicable Official Plans.
The appeal was allowed and the zoning by-law amendment was approved.
