Zoning by-law amendment allowed for modest infill development consistent with provincial intensification policies.
The appellant appealed the City's refusal to amend a zoning by-law to permit the future creation of an additional building lot for a single detached residential building.
The City argued the severance would threaten the large estate lot and heavily wooded character of the subdivision.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal, finding that the proposed infill development was consistent with provincial policies encouraging intensification, would not result in significant tree loss, and was compatible with the character of the neighbourhood.
