Appeals allowed for a 54-unit residential development as it represents appropriate intensification and optimizes land use.
The applicant appealed the City of Hamilton's failure to make decisions on applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit a 54-unit residential development.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, finding that the proposed development represents appropriate residential intensification, optimizes the use of land and infrastructure, and is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontested expert planning evidence that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan, and satisfies the criteria under section 51(24) of the Planning Act.
