Official Plan Amendment redesignating agricultural lands to residential approved on consent subject to municipal servicing.
The appellant appealed the Town's failure to make a decision on an application to amend the Official Plan to redesignate lands from 'Restricted Agricultural Area' to 'Residential'.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement.
Based on the uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the County Official Plan, and maintains the intent of the Town Official Plan, provided development occurs on full municipal services.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part and approved the Official Plan Amendment as modified by the settlement.
