The applicant appealed the City of Guelph Committee of Adjustment's refusal of consent and minor variance applications to create three new residential lots and construct two new semi-detached dwellings.

Prior to the hearing, the applicant and the neighbourhood association reached a settlement.

Based on uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the modified proposal consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, in conformity with the Official Plan, and compliant with the Zoning By-law.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals, granting provisional consent and authorizing the minor variances subject to conditions.

The appellant appealed the City of Guelph Committee of Adjustment's denial of consent and minor variance applications to sever a property into four lots for the development of semi-detached dwellings with additional dwelling units.

A neighbourhood association opposed the development, raising concerns about intensification, compatibility, traffic, and stormwater management.

The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the appellant's experts, finding the property appropriate for infill development and concluding the proposal would not cause adverse traffic or stormwater impacts.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals, authorized the variances, and granted provisional consent.
