Tribunal approves settlement modifying Official Plan Amendment 469 to clarify mitigation measures for sensitive land uses.
The City of Toronto brought a motion to settle two appeals regarding its adoption of the Sherway Area Secondary Plan and Official Plan Amendment 469 (OPA 469).
The settlement proposed minor modifications to Policy 5.9A to clarify the application of mitigation measures for sensitive land uses near major transportation facilities.
Based on uncontradicted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the modifications represented good planning, were consistent with provincial policies, and satisfied legislative tests.
The Tribunal approved the settlement and allowed the appeals in part to bring the agreed-upon portions of OPA 469 into force.
