The applicant appealed the City of Brampton's refusal of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a seven-storey apartment building, stacked townhouses, and a two-storey office building.

The Tribunal found that the proposed development represents good planning, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conforms to the Growth Plan, Region of Peel Official Plan, and City of Brampton Official Plan.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part, approving the amendments in principle but withholding the final order pending confirmation of a site plan control application consistent with the proposed concept plans.

The appellant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision regarding a site plan approval application for a proposed five-storey vehicle sales facility.

The parties reached a settlement prior to the hearing.

Based on uncontradicted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the proposed site plan and conditions were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed with the Growth Plan and the City's Official Plan, and represented good planning.

The appeal was allowed in part, and the site plan was approved in principle subject to conditions.
