The appellant appealed the City of London's approval of Official Plan Amendments and a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a residential development of 88 units.

Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement and the appellant withdrew its appeals of the Official Plan Amendments.

The Tribunal accepted expert planning evidence that the proposed development, which includes a buffer for the adjacent Environmentally Sensitive Area, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Official Plan.

The appeal of the Zoning By-law Amendment was allowed in part to implement the settlement.

The appellant appealed the City of Windsor's passing of a Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted the development of four three-storey condominium buildings containing 96 units.

The appellant and neighbouring residents raised concerns regarding neighbourhood compatibility, height, massing, traffic, and potential flooding impacts.

The Tribunal accepted the expert planning and engineering evidence presented by the City and the developer, finding that the proposed development is compatible with the mixed-use character of the broader neighbourhood, conforms to the Official Plan, and can appropriately manage stormwater on site.

The appeal was dismissed and the zoning by-law amendment was approved.
