Key legal question
Whether the project was zonally compatible as a moderately disturbing use under the municipal zoning plan.
Extracted holding
The Federal Court upheld the view that the project could be denied or set aside because the building file was too rudimentary to assess zonal compatibility reliably.
Extracted reasoning
A building permit requires complete plans enabling review of conformity with zoning law; the submitted plans lacked the required surroundings plan and did not sufficiently show layout, use, and appearance of the storage area.
