Appeals allowed to permit a 9-storey mid-rise residential building in Downtown Burlington.
The applicant appealed the City of Burlington's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 9-storey mid-rise residential building with 38 units, which incorporates an existing heritage building.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, finding that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan, and represents good land use planning by providing appropriate intensification within an Urban Growth Centre.
The Tribunal preferred the applicant's expert evidence on urban design and shadow impacts, concluding that the development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood.
