The applicant appealed the municipality's refusal to enact an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a seniors' residential development.

Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement and presented revised planning instruments.

The appeal was allowed in part to approve the revised amendments.
