MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY K.R. ANDREWS ON April 26, 2023 AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
INTRODUCTION
1The City of Vaughan (“City”) passed a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law 001-2021 (“CZBL”) on October 20, 2021. The CZBL affects all properties within the City, with the exception of lands in the vicinity of Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue known as the Yonge-Steeles Corridor Secondary Plan Area. The CZBL, when fully in force, will replace the City’s former Zoning By-law No. 1-88, with the exception of matters subject to certain transition provisions pursuant to Section 1.6 of the CZBL and the Yonge-Steeles Corridor Secondary Plan Area.
2A total of one hundred and thirty (130) appeals were made to the Tribunal with respect to the passing of the CZBL.
3The City advised the Tribunal that there was a total of sixty-two (62) CZBL appeals related to the transition provisions (Section 1.6) of the CZBL. The City ultimately determined that these transition provisions should be substantially revised and, on March 22, 2022, repealed the transition provisions of the CZBL and adopted new transition provisions by enacting By-law 039-2022 (“Transition By-law”). The Transition By-law amends the CZBL by replacing Section 1.6.
4A total of forty-six (46) appeals were made to the Tribunal with respect to the passing of the Transition By-law.
5Since then, the City has engaged in a number of dispute resolution efforts with the various appellants. Settlements with certain appellants have been brought to the Tribunal at previous CMCs and have been approved.
6The present hearing is the fourth CMC and is being conducted for similar settlement purposes. The Tribunal notes that a CMC was conducted on January 18, 2023; however, no disposition was reached with respect to the matters that should have been dealt with at that hearing. As a result, those matters were added to the agenda of the present hearing.
7The following is a summary of subjects to be dealt with at the present CMC:
Dismissal of the site-specific appeal brought by Margaret Hills;
Direction regarding a written motion to settle a city-wide appeal brought by Greenpark Homes and Intergreen Development Inc.
Transfer of the site-specific appeal brought by West Rutherford Properties Ltd., currently contained within the present matter, to be consolidated with a separate site-specific appeal proceeding of the Tribunal (case no. OLT-22-002347);
The City’s motion to settle aspects of various appeals, returnable April 26, 2023;
The City’s written motion to settle aspects of the Appeal brought by Dufferin Vistas Ltd.;
Motion brought by the ZZEN Group of Companies Ltd. (“ZZEN Group”) to settle aspects of its appeal pertaining to one of its properties, returnable April 26, 2023;
The City’s motion to settle aspects of various appeals, originally returnable January 18, 2023; and
Schedule the next CMC.
Dismissal of Hills Appeal
8Counsel for the City and Margaret Hills advised the Tribunal that this appeal should be dismissed on consent. The reason is that Ms. Hills does not meet the statutory requirements to bring her appeal pursuant to s. 34(19) of the Planning Act.
9The Tribunal accepted these joint submissions and consequently dismisses her appeal.
Written motion to settle City-wide appeal brought by Greenpark Homes and Intergreen Development Inc.
10Counsel for the City and Greenpark Homes and Intergreen Development Inc. advised the Tribunal that they have reached a tentative settlement of their issues, pending approval by City council. The City could not state for certain when council will be in a position to potentially endorse the settlement, but it is likely to be well ahead of the next CMC. As a result, the parties jointly request that the settlement be considered by the Tribunal through a written motion returnable July 12, 2023.
11The City emphasised that resolution of this appeal is of top priority for the City because it is the only remaining city-wide appeal and it affects the City’s planners’ consideration of new planning applications. Once this appeal is resolved, the CZBL can be fully in force city-wide, save for and except as it relates to the remaining site and area-specific appeals.
12The Tribunal accepts the parties’ submissions and correspondingly orders the motion to be heard in writing, returnable July 12, 2023.
Transfer of the site-specific appeal brought by West Rutherford Properties Ltd.
13Counsel for the City and West Rutherford Properties Ltd. jointly submitted that this appellant’s issues and related evidence closely follows the subject of a separate site-specific appeal currently before the Tribunal (case no. OLT-22-002347). As a result, they submitted, it would be more efficient/preferable to deal with it as part of that appeal.
14The Tribunal accepts these submissions and correspondingly orders that this appellant’s appeal be transferred and consolidated as part of Tribunal case no. OLT-22-002347.
Settlements
15The following is a summary of the settlements being proposed by the City and respective appellants. Each point includes the name of the appellant and the property involved. The Tribunal notes that all are on consent, while some involve an appeal of the CZBL and some involve the CZBL and Transition By-law.

ZZEN Group Motion Returnable April 26, 2023
- ZZEN Group in respect of the lands legally described as Part of Lot 11, Concession 10 in the City of Vaughan.
16Evidence for the three City-initiated motions was provided by Robert Rappolt, an expert in Land Use Planning duly qualified by the Tribunal. He testified that each of the appeals subject to the City’s motions involve an appeal on the basis that the CZBL (as adopted) fails to recognize a previous approval for the respective appellants’ sites, such as an amendment to City ZBL 1-88 that was either not continued in the CZBL at all or was carried into the CZBL in a Chapter 14 Exception that requires further amendments to appropriately capture the previous approval.
17Mr. Rappolt further testified that each of the proposed amendments set out in the request for relief will either fully resolve the CZBL appeal (and associated Transition By-law appeal where applicable) or will partially resolve the appeal and leave a scoped portion of the appeal to be resolved in respect of other lands of the appellant.
18From a planning standpoint, Mr. Rappolt opined that each of the proposed amendments has regard to matters of Provincial interest pursuant to Section 2 of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, the Region of York Official Plan 2010, the Region of York Official Plan 2022, and the City of Vaughan Official Plan, and generally represent good planning.
19The Tribunal accepts Mr. Rappolt’s evidence and opinion and finds same.
20As it relates to ZZEN Group’s motion to settle certain aspects of their appeal(s), the evidence was provided by Grant Uyeyama, who was duly qualified by the Tribunal as an expert in lands use planning.
21He testified that, similar to the other settlements, the lands legally described as Part of Lot 11, Concession 10 in the City of Vaughan were subject to a previous approval for the respective appellants’ sites that was either not continued in the CZBL, or was carried into the CZBL in a Chapter 14 Exception which requires further amendment to appropriately capture the previous approval. However, it is also distinguishable because the ZZEN Group is seeking additional zoning considerations to reflect the more current development intentions of the company.
22Mr. Uyeyama testified that ZZEN Group is seeking an amendment to alter s. 14.974 by:
a. Modifying the zoning to clarify the permissions and uses of the lands as follows:
i. Replace the C7 Zone with the EM1 Zone;
ii. Replace the EM2 Zone with the EM1 Zone;
iii. Replace the EM3 Zone with the EM1 Zone.
b. Amend the text of s. 14.974 to reflect this modified zoning by:
i. Permitting Retail Warehousing in all areas zoned for employment uses on the lands (s. 14.974.1);
ii. Eliminating the EM2 Zone, which permits outside storage, resulting in outdoor storage use no longer being permitted;
iii. Eliminating the EM3 Zone;
iv. Simplifying use permissions for uses permitted on the lands now zoned EM1 by removing fueling station uses, financial institution uses, banquet hall uses and car wash uses.
c. Amending the minimum landscaping strip requirements on the lands for employment uses to address ZZEN’s future development intentions (s. 14.974.2);
d. Reiterating that Table 11-3 of the CZBL, regarding minimum setbacks, does not apply to lands zoned EM1 on Map 81 (s. 14-974.2.3); and
e. Reducing the area zoned for the stormwater management pond given its as-built-conditions.
23ZZEN Group is also seeking an amendment to alter Map 81 of Schedule A of the CZBL as follows:
a. To reduce the area zoned OS1-974; and
b. To expand the area zoned EM1-974.
24From a planning standpoint, Mr. Uyeyama opined that ZZEN Group’s proposed amendments have regard to matters of Provincial interest pursuant to Section 2 of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Region of York Official Plan 2010, the Region of York Official Plan 2022, the City of Vaughan Official Plan, Conforms with the Block 64 Plan and generally represents good planning.
25With no opposing evidence and upon consent of the City, the Tribunal finds same.

General Orders re: Exception Settlement Orders
35THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that:
The following Orders recorded in this decision and approval of portions of the CZBL as attached hereto as Attachments 1 through 35 are without prejudice to the disposition of any other appeal of the CZBL and any unapproved portions of the CZBL, such that if those appeals proceed to a subsequent hearing or motion, either on their own or as may be consolidated with other proceedings, the City will not take the position that the Tribunal ought not to approve amendments to the CZBL on the basis that such amendments deviate from or are inconsistent with the amendments attached hereto as Attachments 1 through 35 as brought into force by these Orders. However, this does not affect the City’s right to assert that the CZBL as amended by Attachments 1 through 35 hereto, to the extent brought into force by these Orders, should be applied to specific sites or areas without amendments on the basis that doing so is consistent with the Planning Act and provincial policies, conforms to provincial and official plans and/or constitutes good planning; and
Notwithstanding the Orders, the Tribunal retains jurisdiction to consider and approve amendments to the CZBL as amended herein, as may be appropriate to dispose of any of the outstanding appeals before the Tribunal.
