Zoning by-law amendment for six townhouse units approved as appropriate infill development.
The applicant appealed the City of St. Thomas's refusal of a Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate the development of six townhouse units on a property currently containing a single detached dwelling.
A neighboring resident opposed the appeal, raising concerns about traffic, scale, and neighborhood compatibility.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal in part, finding that the proposed medium-density development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the City's Official Plan.
The Tribunal concluded the development represents appropriate infill that is compatible with the surrounding area and directed the City to amend the zoning by-law subject to conditions regarding landscaping and buffering.
