Appeals allowed in part to permit a 13-unit townhouse development with increased density.
The applicant appealed the municipality's refusal of an Official Plan Amendment and non-decision on a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 13-unit townhouse condominium development.
The main issue was whether the proposed increase in density from 35 to 48 units per hectare would cause unacceptable adverse impacts.
The Tribunal accepted uncontested expert planning evidence that the development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the applicable Official Plans, and represents good planning.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part, approving the amendments in principle subject to finalization.
