Appeal of zoning by-law amendment dismissed without a hearing due to deficient notice of appeal.
The City of Ottawa brought a motion to dismiss an appeal by Philip Comeau regarding a Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted a four-storey residential building.
The City argued that the Notice of Appeal failed to disclose apparent land use planning grounds and did not explain how the by-law failed to conform with the Official Plan, as required by the Planning Act.
The Tribunal found that the appellant failed to meet the statutory requirements and that it lacked the discretionary authority to extend the appeal period or allow the appellant to supplement the reasons after the deadline.
The motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed.
