Zoning by-law amendment for four semi-detached dwellings approved as compatible infill development.
The applicant appealed the City of Pickering's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment to permit an infill residential development of four semi-detached dwellings on a severed parcel.
The Tribunal found that the proposed development conforms to the City's Official Plan, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and maintains the low-rise residential character of the neighbourhood.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant's planner, noting the City's planner made several concessions during cross-examination.
The appeal was allowed and the municipality was directed to amend the zoning by-law.
