Zoning appeal dismissed; second residential dwelling not permitted in Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Core Area.
The applicant appealed the Township's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment to permit a second single detached dwelling for temporary accommodation on a property in the Oak Ridges Moraine.
The applicant claimed the new structure was a continuation of a legal non-conforming use of a former drive shed as an airplane hangar with temporary living accommodations.
The Tribunal found no evidence that the residential use lawfully existed on November 15, 2001, as required by the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Township Official Plan.
The Tribunal concluded the new structure was a second residential dwelling, which is not permitted, and dismissed the appeal.
