Appeals allowed to permit two-storey addition to residential building with reduced parking in transit-oriented area.
The appellant appealed the City of Cambridge's refusal to adopt an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a two-storey addition to an existing four-storey residential building.
The proposed development would add 40 units, increase the maximum height and density, and reduce the required parking and amenity space.
The Tribunal found that the proposed intensification was appropriate for the transit-oriented downtown location, consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conformed to the City's Official Plan.
The Tribunal accepted expert evidence supporting a reduced parking rate of 0.57 spaces per unit without requiring a holding provision for Transportation Demand Management measures.
The appeals were allowed and the amendments approved.
