Link to Order
INTRODUCTION
1This Decision and Order arises from the Settlement documents received regarding the appeals filed by the Appellant pursuant to s. 34(11) and s. 51(34) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended, on the failure of the City of Brantford Council to make a decision on an application for a Zoning By-law Amendment ("ZBA") and a draft Plan of Subdivision ("DPS").
2The Subject Land is municipally known as 544 Shellard Lane located in the southwestern portion of the City.
3The Site-Specific ZBA and DPS seek to permit a residential community with a range and mix of housing types including street townhouses, block townhouses, back-to-back townhouses, and multiple residential buildings. The revised DPS provides for approximately 273 townhouse units of various formats, and 216 units in multiple residential apartment buildings, for a total of approximately 489 units on the Subject Lands and provides for a trail connection, outdoor amenity space, open space, and stormwater management facilities, as well as public road connections to Shellard Lane and the adjacent emerging residential development to the east.
4The Tribunal received correspondence that a settlement on the ZBA and DPS had been reached between the Parties. The Parties made a request that the Tribunal review the settlement materials and approve the proposed planning instruments via a written settlement Decision.
5In accordance with Rule 21.1, Power to Hold Hearing Events by Written Submissions in the Tribunal's Rules of Practice and Procedure, which states:
6The Tribunal may conduct the whole or any part of a hearing event in writing, unless a party satisfies the Tribunal that there is good reason for not doing so. Notice of a written hearing will be sent only to the known parties and participants.
LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
7When considering appeals filed pursuant to sections 34(11) and 51(34) of the Act, the Tribunal must have regard to matters of provincial interest as set out in section 2 of the Act. Decisions of the Tribunal affecting planning matters must conform to the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 ("PPS 2024"), and in this matter, to the City of Brantford Official Plan ("OP").
SITE CONTEXT AND HISTORY OF THE APPLICATION
8The land comprises of a total area of 9.383 hectares ("ha") (23.23 acres) and are currently used for agricultural purposes, with no buildings or structures. The surrounding area is characterized as an emerging community with a planned elementary school, library, community centre and park. Planned amenities in the area include a sports complex, cricket pitch, soccer field, pickleball courts, multi-use court, walking trails, playgrounds, splash pad and other facilities.
9The initial DPS included five blocks for multiple residential development, a stormwater management block, a trail connection, open space blocks and a new collector road extending from the adjacent plan of subdivision and connecting to Shellard Lane. The initial applications proposed approximately 618-706 units.
10The Applications were revised several times through resubmissions to the City. The final version of the DPS dated June 16, 2025, continues to include five blocks for multiple residential development, a stormwater management block, a trail connection, open space blocks and a new collector road extending from the adjacent plan of subdivision and connecting to Shellard Lane. The final version of the DPS has been designed to accommodate approximately 489 units with a net density of 65.6 units per ha and 152.3 people and jobs per ha.
11The applications were appealed in December 2024 on the basis of a non-decision by Brantford City Council.
PLANNING EVIDENCE
12The Tribunal had before it the written Affidavit of Emily Elliott a full member of the Canadian Institute of Planners and the Ontario Professional Planners Institute and a Registered Professional Planner in Ontario. She is a land use planner with 15 years of experience and has been directly involved in providing planning services with respect to the Subject Lands since 2010. The Tribunal considers her qualified to provide opinion evidence in Land Use Planning.
[Planning Act](https://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/stat/rso-1990-c-p13/latest/rso-1990-c-p13.html)
13Having reviewed the planning rationale from Ms. Elliot the Tribunal finds that the Applications have regard for matters of provincial interest by protecting natural areas, features and functions located on the Subject Lands as well as having all natural heritage features and appropriate buffers contained within the Open Space blocks.
14The Proposed Development represents the phased progression of a residential development in a greenfield area of the City adequately serviced through municipal water, wastewater and stormwater services as well as the extension of a Collector Road through the Subject Lands to its terminus at Shellard Lane.
15The Subject Lands are considered to be an appropriate location for growth and development and designed to accommodate a range of multiple residential unit types, including townhouses, back-to-back townhouses and apartments, which will contribute to the range and mix of housing types offered in the City.
16The Proposed Development will promote a well-designed built form that includes a high quality, attractive and vibrant public space and supports the future expansion of public transit facilities within this area of the City.
Plan of Subdivision Application s. 51(34)
17In her written Affidavit Ms. Elliot states that the DPS has been designed as an integrated community that is comprised of blocks intended for multiple residential development, trails, open space, stormwater management facilities which will blend seamlessly with the adjacent community.
18It was Ms. Elliott's opinion that the DPS has been designed to contribute to a complete, vibrant and healthy community which connects network of streets, sidewalks and trails that provide attractive streetscapes and enhance overall connectivity. Densities generally intensify from the internal public road, with street fronting townhouses and direct driveway access, to higher density residential blocks located to the northwest limit of the site, and east of the public road.
19With reference to Section 51(24,) within her written testimony, Ms. Elliot demonstrated that DPS meets the criteria under Sections 51 (24) subsection (a) through (m).
20Section 51(25) Attachment 3 to this Decision outlines more specifically the Conditions proposed. The Tribunal agrees with the opinion of Ms. Elliot in her written submission that the Conditions are reasonable and relevant given the nature of the proposed development.
Provincial Planning Statement (2024)
21The Subject Lands are located within a settlement area and are considered to be within a designated growth area. Land use patterns within the proposed development is based on densities and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land and resources; optimize existing and planning infrastructure and public service facilities; support active transportation and are transit supportive and establishes a proposed density of approximately 152.3 residents and jobs per ha, which exceeds the target of the PPS 2024.
City of Brantford Official Plan ("OP")
22The Tribunal read that the settlement proposal ensures there will be no negative impact on the natural heritage features or their functions. The Proposed Development represents an efficient form of development in the City's greenfield area that is adequately serviced with municipal infrastructure and reflects the logical extension of the community.
23The Proposed Development includes a range of housing types, including townhouses, back-to-back townhouses, and an apartment which will contribute to the diversity of housing in the area that proximate to a range of amenities and services, including public parks planned on lands to the east, as well as the planned community centre, school, library and sports complex.
24The DPS accommodates a multi-modal transportation system that includes a new Minor Collector Road designed with sidewalks on both sides and opportunities for bike lanes and expansion of future public transit infrastructure. The proposed road provides access to Shellard Lane which features a multi-use trail and bus-stops. Further, a trail connection is proposed to the adjacent public trail.
25The northern portion of the Subject Lands are identified as being within Core Natural Areas. Section 4.2.ii. provides that the Core Natural Areas provide an important structural element throughout the entire City, and generally identify areas where development will be prohibited in order to protect significant natural heritage features and their associated ecological functions. Development is not proposed within the portion of the Subject Lands that forms part of the Core Natural Areas. All natural heritage features, and associated buffers, are within Open Space Blocks on the DPS.
26Blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 are proposed to be developed with a combination of street, block and back-to-back townhouses which will be a maximum of three storeys in height. Townhouse dwellings are considered to be either Low-or Mid-Rise Residential buildings, per section 5.2.1c) and g) of the Official Plan.
27Blocks 1 and 3 are proposed to be developed with street townhouse dwellings which will have individual accesses on Street A, which is designed as a Minor Collector Road. Blocks 2 and 4 are proposed to be developed with block and back-to-back townhouses which have access to a private road connected to Street A. Section 5.2.1g) provides that townhouse dwellings are considered to be mid-rise buildings.
28Block 5 is proposed for High-Rise Residential buildings. Block 5 is planned to be developed with two eight storey buildings containing 216 units. Block 5 is located at the northeast corner of Shellard Lane and the proposed Street A and is of a sufficient size to accommodate adequate landscaping, amenity features, buffering and on-site parking and waste collection.
29The portions of the Subject Lands that are within the Floodplain are almost entirely within Open Space Blocks. As development is not proposed within the floodplain, there will be no risk to the public associated with the floodplain.
30The Tribunal finds that the proposed development will result in a new neighbourhood that is pedestrian friendly and integrated with the surrounding planned community and the natural heritage system. The proposed development conforms to the Brantford Official Plan.
City of Brantford Zoning By-law
31On September 24, 2024, City Council passed a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 124-2024 which zones the Subject Lands as Greenfield Neighbourhood Low Rise and Core Natural. Through correspondence prior to Council's passing of the new CZBL, the Appellant requested revisions to the CZBL to reflect the proposed zoning for the subdivision, with appropriate site-specific regulations. Those requested revisions were not implemented in the CZBL.
32The proposed site specific ZBA seeks to rezone the Subject Lands from Greenfield Neighbourhood Low-Rise ("GNLR"), Open Space ("OS") and Core Natural ("N") zoning to new zoning categories with appropriate site-specific regulations to facilitate development of the DPS.
33The Tribunal finds that the proposed zoning reflects land use designations of the Official Plan and establishes appropriate zones and regulations to facilitate the development of the DPS as follows:
[34] The ZBA proposes to zone the Subject Lands as follows: a. Blocks 1 and 3 are proposed to be zoned GLNR-20 b. Block 2 is proposed to be zoned GLNR-21 c. Block 4 is proposed to be zoned GLNR-22 d. Block 5 is proposed to be zoned Residential High Rise ("RHR")-15 e. Blocks 6-8 are proposed to be zoned N f. Block 9, the stormwater management facility, is proposed to be zoned OS
Conclusion
35The Tribunal having considered the written uncontested planning opinion evidence of Emily Elliot in support of the settlement, is satisfied that the ZBA and DPS meet all applicable statutory tests and is in the public interest and constitutes good planning.
36The Tribunal finds the proposed DPS Conditions are reasonable, relevant and necessary when considering the nature of the Proposed Development.
37The Tribunal notes that Losani appealed to the Tribunal on the basis of a failure to make a decision on the ZBA and DPS, is the appeal before the Tribunal and of which have been assigned Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") File Nos. OLT-24-0001237 and OLT-24-0001238 ("Private Appeals").
38It was noted that Losani also appealed the City's CZBL No. 124-2024 , that has been assigned OLT Lead Case No. OLT-24-001085 which was scoped site-specifically to lands owned by Losani, including the Subject Lands, on a without prejudice basis through Tribunal Order, dated July 24, 2025.
