Secondary plan approved in principle; approved environmental assessment relied upon to establish Greenbelt Plan conformity.
The appellant appealed the City's failure to adopt an official plan amendment to establish a secondary plan for a large master-planned community.
All parties except one landowner reached a settlement.
The opposing landowner argued the plan did not conform to the Greenbelt Plan due to proposed collector roads crossing the Greenbelt, and sought to have its lands excluded.
The Tribunal found that the approved Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) established conformity with the Greenbelt Plan and that the Tribunal should rely on it.
The Tribunal also found no planning basis to exclude the opposing landowner's lands from the comprehensive secondary plan.
The appeal was allowed in part to approve the settlement plan in principle.
