Appeals for 6-storey residential development dismissed as premature and representing unprecedented over-intensification.
The applicant appealed the Town of Whitby's failure to adopt an Official Plan Amendment and neglect to make a decision on a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 6-storey, 113-unit residential apartment building.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that the proposed development represented an unprecedented over-intensification of residential uses in the Downtown Area.
The Tribunal also held that the applications were premature, as they would usurp the ongoing Downtown Whitby Secondary Plan Update and undermine the public consultation process.
