The City of Vaughan and MM 27 Ltd. brought motions to resolve site-specific appeals of the City's Comprehensive Zoning By-law and Transition By-law.

The appeals by VMC Condos, ZZEN, and MM 27 sought to correct discrepancies between the new by-laws and previously approved site-specific zoning permissions.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the proposed amendments had regard to provincial interests, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the applicable official plans, and represented good planning.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part and approved the proposed amendments.
