in issue in the appeal shall be deemed to have come into force on the day the Zoning
By-law was passed;
And whereas the OMB and the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the “LPAT”) is continued
under the name Ontario Land Tribunal (the “Tribunal”), and any reference to the Ontario
Municipal Board or OMB or Local Planning Appeal Tribunal or LPAT is deemed to be a
reference to the Tribunal;
