MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY A. SAUVE ON APRIL 14, 2026 AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL

INTRODUCTION

1The Tribunal convened a first Case Management Conference (“CMC”) in respect of the Appeal filed by the Appellant pursuant to s. 34(11) of the Planning Act (“Act”), concerning the Municipality’s refusal of a Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBL”) application to re-zone land from “General Commercial (CG)” to “General Commercial Special Exception Seventeen (CG-17)”.

2The ZBL would permit the establishment of a commercial garage, allowing for the repair and maintenance of vehicles owned by the general public.

3The Tribunal received and marked the Affidavit of Service of the Notice of CMC sworn by Jay Ikjyot Gill as Exhibit 1. There were no issues with the Service of Notice of the CMC, and as such no further notice is required.

4The Municipality did not attend by way of counsel and, instead, Mr. Peter Young, an employee of the Municipality, appeared. Mr. Young advised the Tribunal that the Municipality would be retaining counsel. It appeared that the Municipality was unfamiliar with the Tribunal process.

REQUESTS FOR STATUS

5There were no requests for Party or Participant status.

MEDIATION

6The Tribunal notified the Parties that Tribunal-led mediation is an available option and that additional information can be obtained through the Case Coordinator.
