Zoning by-law amendment appeal dismissed; density bonusing for 13 affordable housing units deemed appropriate.
The Unity Project for Relief of Homelessness appealed the City of London's approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted a 24-storey mixed-use development.
The appellant argued that the density bonusing agreement, which provided 13 affordable housing units in exchange for increased height and density, was insufficient and did not meet Official Plan targets.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the development was compatible with the surrounding area, optimized existing infrastructure, and that the negotiated affordable housing contribution advanced the public interest and conformed to the applicable planning policies.
