Minor variances authorized for 8-unit residential building with zero on-site parking.

The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a minor variance application to permit the construction of an 8-unit multiple dwelling with reduced parking, reduced rear yard setback, and increased lot coverage.

The Ontario Land Tribunal allowed the appeal and authorized the variances, accepting uncontested expert planning evidence that the proposal represents appropriate residential intensification, is transit-supportive, and meets the four tests under the Planning Act.

Tribunal consolidates site plan appeal with official plan and zoning appeals and schedules merit hearing.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a first Case Management Conference regarding appeals by LIV Developments Ltd. against the City of Hamilton's failure to make decisions on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for a proposed 234-unit residential development.

The applicant requested consolidation of an existing Site Plan appeal with the current appeals.

The City opposed, suggesting the Site Plan appeal could be dismissed under s. 19.1 of the Ontario Land Tribunal Act.

The Tribunal found no grounds for dismissal and granted the consolidation to avoid a multiplicity of hearings.

A procedural order was directed and an eight-day merit hearing was scheduled.
