Appeals for 10-storey residential development allowed in part; proposal represents appropriate transit-supportive intensification.
The appellants appealed the City of Vaughan's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 10-storey residential apartment building.
The City argued the proposal represented overdevelopment and lacked appropriate transition.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the appellants' experts, finding the proposal represented appropriate intensification within a Protected Major Transit Station Area, provided a suitable transition to the adjacent low-rise neighbourhood, and conformed to the applicable provincial and municipal planning frameworks.
The appeals were allowed in part on an interim basis, pending finalization of the instruments and a holding provision for servicing capacity.
