Appeal of zoning by-law amendment for commercial dog kennel dismissed; noise mitigation measures deemed adequate.
The appellant appealed the municipality's approval of a zoning by-law amendment permitting a commercial dog kennel on the neighbouring property.
The core issue was whether the noise from the kennel would adversely impact the enjoyment of the appellant's property.
The Tribunal preferred the applicants' expert noise evidence, finding that proposed mitigation measures implemented through site plan control would adequately address noise concerns.
The Tribunal concluded the amendment was consistent with provincial policies and conformed to the official plans, dismissing the appeal.
