The applicant appealed a Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to the City of Vaughan's failure to make a decision within 90 days.
The application sought to permit a 12-storey mixed-use building and a 3-storey townhouse block.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement in principle on revised plans.
Based on uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the settlement proposal consistent with provincial policies and local official plans, representing good planning.
The appeal was allowed in part on an interim basis, with the final order withheld pending the satisfaction of several conditions.
