Zoning By-law Amendment for on-farm special events venue approved based on parties' settlement agreement.
The appellant appealed the municipality's approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted a special events venue and culinary-related activities as on-farm diversified uses.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement that introduced additional regulations, including limits on temporary structure floor area, hours of operation, and amplified sound.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontested expert planning evidence that the revised amendment was consistent with provincial policies, conformed to regional and local official plans, and represented good land use planning.
The appeal was allowed in part to implement the settlement.
