Tribunal approves partial settlement modifying Official Plan Amendment No. 63 for the Smithville Urban Area.
The appellants appealed the Township of West Lincoln's adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 63, which implements a Secondary Plan for lands added to the Smithville Urban Area.
Following Tribunal-led mediation, the parties reached a partial settlement resolving numerous issues.
The Township brought a motion to approve the partial settlement, supported by uncontested expert planning affidavit evidence.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part, approving the modified OPA 63 save for scoped site-specific policies, and scheduled a merit hearing for the remaining issues.
