Tribunal approves settlement modifying official plan and zoning by-law to reflect revised wetland boundaries.
The appellants appealed the City of Ottawa's Official Plan Amendment 240 and Zoning By-law No. 2020-53, which delineated significant wetland boundaries on their lands.
The parties reached a settlement to modify the designations and zoning to reflect only provincially identified significant wetlands, removing the Environmental Protection Zone from certain lands.
Based on the uncontested expert planning evidence of the City's Senior Environmental Planner, the Tribunal approved the settlement, finding the modifications consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the City's Official Plan.
