Tribunal approves site-specific zoning by-law amendments recognizing existing rural recreational uses following settlement.
The Tribunal held a settlement hearing regarding appeals of the City of Kawartha Lakes' new Rural Zoning By-law.
The appellants, Flato and Mariposa, sought site-specific amendments to recognize existing uses such as cottages, marinas, and campgrounds, and to correct mapping errors.
Based on uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the proposed amendments consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement and in conformity with the Official Plan.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part, approving the settlements, and adjourned the remaining unresolved portions of the Flato appeal.
