Appeals against zoning by-laws limiting bedroom counts and heights for additional residential units dismissed.
The appellant appealed zoning by-law amendments that limited the aggregate number of bedrooms on low-density residential lots and restricted the height of detached additional residential units to that of other accessory structures.
The appellant argued these restrictions constituted 'people zoning' and conflicted with the Building Code Act.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that the regulations were appropriate performance standards to manage intensity and built form, represented good planning, and were protected from appeal under s. 34(19.1) of the Planning Act.
