MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY W. DANIEL BEST ON JANUARY 30, 2026 AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
INTRODUCTION
1The Tribunal convened a hearing to consider a settlement regarding an appeal brought forward for the above-noted matter. The Appellant has an Appeal against the City for a failure to make a decision within statutory timeframes for a Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBA”) and a Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision (“DPS”) under ss. 34(11) and 51(34) of the Planning Act (“Act”).
2The Subject Lands are in the east end of the City, municipally known as 1296 and 1400 Old Montreal Road. The Subject Lands are located within the urban boundary of the City and south of the existing Cardinal Creek community and comprise a total area of approximately 43.6 hectares (“ha”).
3The Subject Lands are largely undeveloped. The lands adjacent to the Subject Lands are described as follows:
To the north is existing residential development and Old Montreal Road. To the north of Old Montreal Road is existing and planned residential development as part of the Cardinal Creek Village Community subdivision.
Cox Country Road abuts the Subject Lands to the east. Existing residential within the rural area are located east of Cox Country Road.
The South Tributary of Cardinal Creek abuts the Subject Lands to the south. Southwest are lands anticipated for future development and southeast are lands within the rural area.
Existing and future planned residential development are to the west of the Subject Lands. Existing institutional and residential land are located further west of the Subject Lands.
4The Subject Lands are currently zoned Rural Countryside – RU, Rural Institutional Subzone 5 - RI5, and Arterial Mainstreet Urban Exception 2139 – AM[2139]. To permit the proposed development, the City’s Zoning By-law No. 2008-250 is required to be amended as follows:
Residential Third Density Subzone Z – R3Z [XXX3] for the residential lots and blocks. The exception [XXX3] will set the maximum height of back-to-back townhomes to 11.5 metres, (“m”) and the minimum lot area of same to 90 square metres (“m2”). This exception will also permit air conditioner condenser heat pumps or similar equipment to be located in the front yard or corner side yard when the units are attached back-to-back.
Open Space - 01 for a park and stormwater management pond.
A Minor Institutional Subzone A – I1A/Residential Third Density Subzone Z – R3Z [XXX3] for the school blocks.
General Mixed Use – GM(H20) for the mixed-use block.
The South Tributary corridor will be zoned Open Space – O1 and O1 with a special exception [XXX2] Utility and Utility Installation, which will support future municipal infrastructure.
Environmental Protection Subzone 1 – EP1 and EP1 with a special exception [XXX1] to permit Utility and Utility Installation.
5The revised DPS before the Tribunal consists of 404 Residential Lots and Blocks to accommodate an estimated 723 dwelling units including:
311 detached dwellings
300 townhouse dwellings
12 back-to-back townhouse dwellings
2.44 ha school block
2.46 ha school block
2.40 ha mixed use block
1.32 ha public park
1.99 ha storm water management block
12 streets, six pathway blocks/servicing blocks, four widening blocks, and three creek corridor blocks
LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
6When considering an appeal of an application to amend a zoning by-law filed pursuant to s. 34, the Tribunal must examine and determine the following:
Regard to matters of Provincial interest as set out in s. 2 of the Act and regard to the decision of the City Council and the information considered by it pursuant to s.2.1(1) of the Act.
Consistency with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (“PPS”) in accordance with s. 3(5) of the Act.
Satisfaction that the ZBA conforms with the official plans in effect.
7For the DPS Appeal, the Tribunal must examine and determine the following:
The proposed planning instruments must be found to: have appropriate regard for matters of Provincial interest in s. 2 of the Act, be consistent with the PPS, and be consistent with the TOPs.
In addition to the foregoing, the DPS must have appropriate regard for the criteria set out in s. 51(24) of the Act and the proposed DPS conditions must be found to be reasonable and appropriate given the nature of the development.
Finally, in accordance with 2.1(1) of the Act, regard must be had for the decision of City Council and the information considered by it in the course of making that decision.
8Overall, the Tribunal must be satisfied that the ZBA and DPS, subject to the DPS Conditions, represent good planning and are in the public interest.
SUBMISSIONS AND EVIDENCE
9In support of the proposed settlement, the following Exhibits were filed:
Exhibit 1: Affidavit of Gregory Winters sworn January 26, 2026.
10Mr. Winters is a registered planner and the Director of Planning and Development of multi-disciplinary civil engineering, land use planning, and landscape architecture consulting firm. Based on his experience and expertise outlined in his curriculum vitae, the Tribunal qualified him to provide opinion evidence as an expert in land-use planning.
11Mr. Winters stated the proposed development has proceeded through a comprehensive process that will facilitate the orderly development in an area of growth, and a range of housing resulting in the development of a safe and healthy community.
12Mr. Winters identified the proposed development and Subject Lands will be served by the local extension of municipal infrastructure including water, stormwater and sanitary services.
13Mr. Winters advised the proposed development will protect the portion of the South Tributary and related features extending along the southerly boundary of the Subject Lands and other natural heritage features identified.
14Mr. Winters opined the proposed development is served by existing transit and will promote active living through a neighbourhood park, access to pedestrian pathways and sidewalks. The development proposal ensures connection and access to modes of active transportation that supports the 15-minute neighbourhood.
15Mr. Winters identified the extensive environmental and geological studies and reports that were in accordance with the Greater Cardinal Creek Subwatershed Management Plan. He continued that the Appellant worked with the City to identify the Final Setback Line which establishes the limits of development adjacent to the South Tributary. The implementation of the recommendations of these studies will ensure that ecological functions of the Urban Natural Features are protected and preserved for the long term.
16Mr. Winters advised the South Tributary will also be protected through the transfer of lands south of the Final Setback line, comprising Blocks 406, 415, and 416 on the Draft Plan, to the City upon registration.
17Mr. Winters identified the proposed development is subject to the Cardinal Creek Village Concept Plan as identified in s. 12 of the City Official Plan (“COP”):
Local plans establish more detailed policies to guide growth and change in specific areas or neighbourhoods. Local plans adapt and implement the overall planning approach of this Plan but may deviate from specific policies to fit local contexts.
18Mr. Winters confirmed the proposed development has been planned and designed to take into account the policies of the Cardinal Creek Village Concept Plan.
19Mr. Winters summarized his opinion regarding the proposed development on the Subject Lands as follows:
The proposed development has regard for matters of provincial interest set out in Section 2 of the Act.
The proposed development is consistent with the PPS and conforms to the COP and Cardinal Creek Village Concept Plan.
The ZBA conforms to the COP, the Cardinal Creek Village Concept Plan and appropriately implements the DPS.
The Draft Plan Conditions issued by the City for the proposed development are reasonable and equitable having regard to the nature of the development proposed for the subdivision pursuant to Section 51(25) of the Act.
The Proposed Development on the Subject Lands represents good planning.
20The Tribunal accepts the uncontroverted evidence presented by Mr. Winters and finds the applicable legislative requirements for the ZBA and DPS have been adequately addressed for the proposed development.
21The Tribunal finds that the Draft Plan Conditions are reasonable, relevant, and necessary for the proposed development.

a) The Owner agrees to any restrictions to landscaping, in particular the type and size of trees and the proximity of these to structures/buildings due to the presence of sensitive marine clay soils, as per the City’s Tree Planting in Sensitive Marine Clay Soils – 2017 Guidelines.
b) The Owner agrees to provide the following tests, data, and information prior to zoning approval, in order to determine the sensitivity of the clay soils and how it will impact street tree planting and potentially front yard setbacks:
i. Shear Vane analysis including remolded values per ASTM D2573.
ii. Atterberg Limit testing per ASTM D4318; with the following data clearly identified, Natural water content (W), Plastic Limit (PL), Plasticity Index (PI), Liquidity Index (LI), and Activity (A).
iii. Shrinkage Limit testing per ASTM D4943 with Shrinkage Limit (SL).
iv. A separate section within the geotechnical report on sensitive marine clay soils, which will include a signed letter and corresponding map that confirms the locations of low, medium sensitivity (generally <40% plasticity) or high sensitivity clay soils (generally >40% plasticity), as determined by the above tests and data.
v. The report identifies that foundation walls are to be reinforced at least nominally, with a minimum of two upper and two lower 15M (rebar size) bars in the foundation wall.
c) In locations where all six conditions in the Tree Planting in Sensitive Marine Clay Soils – 2017 Guidelines cannot be met (e.g. if soils are generally >40% plasticity) the 2005 Clay Soils Policy will apply, meaning only small, low-water demand trees can be planted at a minimum separation distance of 7.5m from a building foundation. In these cases, the Zoning By-law will be used to ensure sufficient front yard setbacks to accommodate street trees in the right-of-way. For example, if street trees are planted in the right-of-way at a distance of 2m from the front lot line, then the minimum front yard setback would be 5.5m (7.5m – 2m).
