Tribunal approves residential intensification but limits building height to 7 storeys instead of proposed 13.
The appellant appealed the Town of Aurora's refusal of Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to permit a 13-storey residential development.
The Tribunal found that while the site is appropriate for intensification, a 13-storey building would be excessive and conflict with the planned context.
The Tribunal approved the redesignation to Medium-High Density Residential but limited the maximum building height to 7 storeys, requiring a transition to lower-density townhouses.
The Tribunal also rejected the appellant's request for a reduced parking standard but agreed that a Holding provision for servicing was unnecessary.
The appeals were allowed in part.
