Tribunal grants joint request to scope appeal of official plan amendment and partially approve unappealed portions.
The appellant appealed the City of Guelph's adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 106 (OPA 106), which revised permitted building heights in the Downtown Secondary Plan area.
At a Case Management Conference, the parties jointly requested an order scoping the appeal to a specific item as it relates to the appellant's lands and holding the appeal in abeyance pending a decision on site-specific development applications.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the scoping order represented good planning and was consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement.
The Tribunal granted the requested relief, confirming that the unappealed portions of OPA 106 came into effect by operation of the Planning Act.
