Appeal of zoning by-law amendment for seniors affordable housing dismissed due to lack of planning evidence.
The appellant appealed the City of Hamilton's approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted the development of a three-storey affordable rental apartment building for seniors.
The appellant, an adjacent landowner, raised concerns regarding building height, privacy, traffic, and property values, but provided no expert land use planning evidence.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontroverted expert planning evidence of the applicant that the development represented appropriate intensification within a settlement area.
The appeal was dismissed and the by-law amendment was upheld.
