Appeals against townhouse development dismissed; proposal found to be appropriate infill intensification compatible with neighbourhood.
The appellant appealed the City of Hamilton's approval of an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and provisional consent to facilitate a six-unit street townhouse development on a property adjacent to heritage resources.
The appellant argued the proposal represented overdevelopment and was incompatible with the existing neighbourhood character.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals, preferring the evidence of the applicant's and City's planners that the proposal represented an appropriate, modest form of intensification that was compatible with the area and consistent with provincial and municipal planning policies.
