Tribunal approves Yonge and Bernard KDA Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law modifications, dismissing remaining appeals.
The Ontario Land Tribunal heard Phase 2 of appeals regarding the Yonge and Bernard Key Development Area (KDA) Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law in the City of Richmond Hill.
The hearing focused on site-specific development applications and policies for the eastern quadrants and the Di Pede lands in the northwest quadrant.
The Tribunal approved the City's proposed modifications, which were supported by expert planning, transportation, and environmental evidence.
The Tribunal upheld the Greenway System designation and natural hazard buffer requirements for the northeast quadrant, dismissing the appeals of North Elgin Centre Inc. (NEC), which failed to call any evidence.
All other appeals were dismissed, bringing the Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law into effect for the remaining lands.
