Appeal of zoning by-law amendment for affordable stacked townhouses dismissed; development found compatible and policy-compliant.
The appellants appealed the City of Cambridge's passing of a Zoning By-law Amendment that permitted the development of 24 affordable stacked townhouse units by Habitat for Humanity.
The appellants raised concerns regarding density, compatibility, and environmental impacts.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding based on uncontradicted expert planning evidence that the amendment was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the Growth Plan and applicable Official Plans, and represented good land use planning.
The Tribunal also approved a technical amendment to the by-law.
