Site plan for six-storey apartment building approved as it complies with zoning and mitigates impacts.
The appellant appealed the City of Kawartha Lakes' failure to approve a site plan application for a six-storey, 158-unit rental apartment building.
The City and area residents raised concerns regarding urban design, building orientation, shadowing, and privacy impacts on adjacent low-density residential properties.
The Tribunal found that the proposed site plan complied with the existing zoning by-law, provided appropriate setbacks and landscaping to mitigate impacts, and conformed to the applicable official plans and provincial policies.
The appeal was allowed and the site plan was approved in principle.
