The appellants appealed the City of Mississauga's Official Plan Amendment 182, which updated the definition of 'Employment Areas' to align with the Planning Act and Provincial Planning Statement, thereby excluding hotel uses.

The parties reached a settlement to modify OPA 182 to remove two of the appellants' hotel properties from the Employment Area designation, while retaining a third property within it.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the modifications constituted good planning, were consistent with provincial policies, and approved the amendment as modified.

The appellant appealed the City of Mississauga's Development Charges By-law No. 0133-2022.

The parties reached a settlement to shift 37 roads projects from in-period eligible costs to post-period benefits, resulting in rate reductions for residential, industrial, and non-industrial uses.

The Tribunal accepted uncontested expert evidence that the amendments conform with the Development Charges Act and approved the amended schedules to the by-law.

The applicant appealed the City of Mississauga's failure to make decisions on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to permit a mixed-use building with purpose-built rental units.

The parties reached a settlement for a revised 12-storey slab building with 173 units, including affordable rental units.

The Tribunal accepted uncontested expert planning evidence that the revised proposal is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, conforms to the municipal official plans, and represents good land use planning.

The appeals were allowed in part on an interim basis, with final approval withheld pending the execution of agreements securing the rental tenure and affordable units.

The appellant appealed the City's failure to make decisions on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications within the prescribed timelines.

Following an adjournment of the merits hearing, the parties reached a settlement in principle.

The Tribunal converted the scheduled appearance into a Case Management Conference, scheduled a settlement hearing for February 18, 2025, and issued procedural directives for the filing of settlement materials.

This was the first Case Management Conference regarding multiple appeals of the Region of Peel's approval of Official Plan Amendments 142, 143, and 144 to the City of Mississauga's Official Plan, which relate to Major Transit Station Areas.

The Tribunal granted Observing Party status to the Region of Peel, Non-Appellant Party status to Hensall Holdings and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and Participant status to Trillium Health Partners.

A motion by the City to confirm the scope of the appeals and bring unappealed portions of the OPAs into effect was adjourned to allow the parties time to review a revised draft order and compendium.
