Uncontested appeal allowed to permit a residential apartment development that conforms to planning policies.
The applicant appealed the City of Ottawa's refusal of a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit the development of two four-storey apartment buildings.
Prior to the hearing, the City resolved not to oppose the application.
Based on uncontested expert evidence in land use planning, transportation, and environmental noise, the Tribunal found that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Official Plan, and represents good planning.
The appeal was allowed and the Zoning By-law was amended accordingly.
