Appeals allowed and planning amendments approved to facilitate a 24-unit residential development following a settlement.
The applicant appealed the City of Welland's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 3-storey, 24-unit residential building.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement that included dedicating portions of the site containing a woodland feature to the City.
Based on uncontroverted planning evidence, the Tribunal found the settlement proposal consistent with provincial policies, in conformity with applicable official plans, and representative of good planning.
The appeals were allowed and the amendments were approved.
