The appellant appealed the City's approval of a zoning by-law amendment permitting a four-unit apartment dwelling on an interior lot.

At a settlement hearing, the Tribunal accepted unchallenged expert planning evidence that the amendment and proposed site plan represent good planning and are consistent with provincial policy.

The Tribunal agreed to dismiss the appeal conditional upon the execution and registration of a final site plan control agreement.

The appellant appealed the City of Thunder Bay Committee of Adjustment's approval of a consent application to sever a residential property.

Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement that revised the conditions of the consent, specifically regarding the minimum southerly interior side yard setback.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the proposed consent, subject to the revised conditions, was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed with the City's Official Plan, and had regard to the criteria in section 51(24) of the Planning Act.

The appeal was dismissed in part and provisional consent was granted.
