Appeals against Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments for a stacked townhouse development dismissed.
The appellant appealed the City of Stratford's approval of Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments that would permit the development of two 3.5-storey stacked townhouse buildings comprising 30 units.
The appellant argued the development was incompatible with the low-density character of the stable residential neighbourhood.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant and the City, finding that the proposed development promotes efficient intensification of underutilized lands, utilizes existing infrastructure, and features a design sympathetic to the area's heritage character.
The appeals were dismissed and the amendments approved.
