Appeals allowed; Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments approved to permit 17-lot residential subdivision.
The applicant appealed the Township's failure to adopt an Official Plan Amendment and neglect to make a decision on a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 17-lot residential subdivision.
The proposed development would change the zoning to permit single-detached and semi-detached dwellings on lands partially encumbered by environmental hazard designations.
The Tribunal heard uncontested expert planning evidence that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the County and Township Official Plans, and represents good planning by providing a mix of housing types while respecting natural hazards.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals and approved the amendments.
