Appeals allowed to permit 12 commercial accommodation lodges on lands designated Resort Commercial.
The appellant appealed the Town's failure to make a decision on applications for a Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit the creation of 12 lots for commercial accommodation lodges.
The Town opposed the applications, arguing the proposed use was effectively a short-term accommodation or residential use not permitted in the Resort Commercial designation.
The Tribunal preferred the appellant's expert evidence, finding that the proposed commercial accommodation lodges are a permitted use, conform with the Official Plans, and represent good planning.
The appeals were allowed, the by-law was amended, and the draft plan was approved subject to conditions.
