INTRODUCTION

1This matter was a merit hearing for the Project Services Inc. (“Applicant”) appeal pursuant to s. 51(39) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P. 13, as amended (“Act”), regarding the conditions of approval of a draft plan of subdivision to permit 18 lots, required by the Township of Oro-Medonte (“Township”) for the properties legally described as Part of Lot 24, Concession 8 (“Subject Lands”) in the Township.

2Prior to the commencement of the merit hearing, the Tribunal was informed that the parties reached a settlement. Pursuant to Rule 12 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, the matter before the Tribunal was converted to a settlement hearing.

BACKGROUND

3On September 7, 2016, the Township gave a Draft Plan Approval to the Applicant’s Subdivision for a period of three (3) years for the development of 18 single detached residential lots and other features such as a storm management pond, two 0.3 metre (“m”) reserves, a 6.0 m drainage access, and a walkway/emergency access to Ridge Road. The Draft Plan Approval included 48 conditions that were to be completed to the satisfaction of the Township and other agencies. The Subject Lands are located within the Oro Station Rural Settlement Area and designated as such in the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan.

4On July 18, 2019, the Township granted the Applicant an 18-month extension to the lapsing condition associated with the draft plan. On November 27, 2020, the Applicant requested a three year extension of draft plan approval and the Township approved a twelve month extension on February 3, 2021. On November 24, 2021, the Applicant requested a three-year extension of draft plan approval and the Township approved a twelve month extension on February 2, 2022. Following the submission of this appeal to the Tribunal, the Applicant requested a three-year extension of draft plan approval on November 23, 2022. A final extension was granted for an additional one-year to expire on March 7, 2023. As part of the final extension, Council altered the condition related to the water storage provisions within the development. The Applicant was unable to advance the final details and related requirements for the new water system required by the Township.

5In addition to the lapsing condition, the Applicant appealed other conditions of the draft plan, specifically Conditions Number 2, 11, 17, 19(g), 40, and 50, as was imposed by the Township on February 2, 2022. On February 8, 2023, the Township approved a revised set of draft plan conditions. Based on the revised set of conditions, the Applicant was satisfied, save and except for Conditions 11, 15, 16, 17, 40, and 50. The Applicant requested that the Tribunal revise Conditions 11, 15, 16, 17, 40 and 50. As the Applicant did not appeal Conditions 15 and 16, the Tribunal does not have authority to expand the appeal to include the revision to Conditions 15 and 16. During the hearing, the parties settled on revisions to Conditions 11, 17, 40 and 50 as follows:

Condition No. 11: That the owner shall agree in the subdivision agreement to implement the works, at their cost, relating to Block 22 as identified in the plans prepared by WMI & Associates, dated March 8, 2023, Revision 3.

Condition No. 17: The owner shall agree in the subdivision agreement to be wholly responsible for the actual cost related to the design and construction of upgrades (potable water supply, fire water demands and pumping storage) to the Canterbury municipal water system as provided for in the WMI & Associates plans dated March 8, 2023, Revision 3.

Condition No. 40: That the owner shall agree in the subdivision agreement to conduct works as required by the Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan, prepared by Landmark Environmental Group dated August 29, 2022, Revision 3.

Condition No. 50: Draft approval shall automatically and irrevocably lapse if final Plan approval is not given to this plan by March 21, 2025, which is a twenty-four (24) month extension to the previous lapsing date of March 7, 2023, if no further extensions have been granted. If the Owner wishes to request an extension to the draft approval period, a written explanation shall be submitted to the Township of Oro-Medonte at least ninety (90) days prior to the lapsing with reasons why the extension is required. A resolution from Township Council must also be obtained prior to the lapsing date.

PLANNING EVIDENCE

6The Applicant retained Kevin Bechard, a Land Use Planner and Senior Associate at IPS Consulting Inc, to provide evidence in this proceeding. After a review of his credentials and his signed Acknowledgement of Expert Duties form, the Tribunal qualified Mr. Bechard to provide expert opinion evidence in the field of land-use planning.

7Mr. Bechard gave an overview of applications, the Subject Lands, and the municipal planning approvals.

8The Subject Lands consist of a total of 5.35 hectares (“ha”) in area and are located within the Oro-Station Settlement Area. The Subject Lands are surrounded by residential lands to the east, south and west. Lands to the north are Rural/Agricultural in nature.

9The Subject Lands are approved for residential development and are subject to an existing draft plan of subdivision permitting single detached dwellings with associated draft plan conditions.

10Mr. Bechard informed the Tribunal that these lands are subject to “A Place to Grow: A Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020” (“Growth Plan”), the “County of Simcoe Official Plan”, the “Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan”, and the “Township of Oro-Medonte Zoning By-law 97-95”.

11In his evidence, Mr. Bechard discussed the application of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (“PPS”) to the Subject Lands. It is the expert opinion of Mr. Bechard, that the proposed draft plan of subdivision has appropriate regard for s.51(24) of the Planning Act and both the draft plan and conditions are appropriate and reasonable as required by s.51(25) of the Planning Act. The draft Plan conditions are consistent with the PPS in that it is directed to an existing settlement area and enhances the servicing efficiency of adjacent residential development lands. It is further consistent with Policy 1.6.6.5 which considers development on partial services on lands rounding out existing settlement areas. The proposed draft Plan conditions conform with the Growth Plan. The residential uses of the proposed development are permitted under the County of Simcoe Official Plan and the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan and the proposed infrastructure within Block 19 of the proposed development and on lands designated Agricultural is permitted, particularly considering that Block 19 will be conveyed into public ownership.

12Public participation through oral and written comments factored into the review of the applications for the proposed development and the Draft Plan conditions.

13The parties have worked towards a settlement of the conditions in dispute. Mr. Bechard stated that the proposed draft plan and revised conditions represent good planning.

FINDINGS OF THE TRIBUNAL

14In determining this matter, the Tribunal accepts and adopts the uncontested land use planning evidence and expert opinions provided Mr. Bechard. The Tribunal is persuaded by the evidence that the draft plan of subdivision and conditions promote efficient development of land and intensifies uses within the settlement area.

15The Tribunal finds that the proposed development is consistent with the policy direction established by the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the relevant directives established by the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and conforms to the County of Simcoe and Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plans. The draft plan has satisfactory regard for the conditions set out in s.51(24) of the Planning Act and both the plan and conditions are appropriate and reasonable as required by s.51(25) of the Planning Act. The Tribunal is further satisfied that the proposed development has due regard for matters of provincial interest, is consistent with the principles of good land use planning and is in the greater public interest. The proposal furthers the goals and objectives of the provincial planning regime to increase housing opportunities.

ORDER

16THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that the appeal is allowed in part and conditions 11, 17, 40 and 50 are amended as set out in Attachment 1 to this Order.

17AND THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that the Township of Oro-Medonte shall clear the subdivision agreement within 30 days for the purposes of s.51(26) of the Planning Act.

18AND THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that pursuant to subsection 51(56.1) of the Planning Act, the Township of Oro-Medonte shall have the authority to clear the conditions of draft plan approval and to administer final approval of the Plan of Subdivision for the purposes of subsection 51(58) of the Act. In the event that there are any difficulties implementing any of the conditions of draft Plan Approval, or if any changes are required to be made to the draft Plan, the Tribunal may be spoken to.
