The appellant appealed the passage of a site-specific zoning by-law that reduced various site requirements, including parking and setbacks, to permit the development of a gas station, convenience store, and restaurant on a brownfield site.
The appellant raised concerns regarding health, safety, and over-development.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, accepting the uncontested expert evidence that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the applicable Official Plans, and represents good land use planning by efficiently utilizing serviced land within a settlement area.
