Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments approved for medium-density residential development over City's opposition.
The appellant appealed the City of Hamilton's failure to make a decision on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for a proposed medium-density residential development, including an eight-storey apartment building and stacked townhouses.
The City opposed the development, arguing it was incompatible with the neighbourhood character and would cause adverse shadow impacts on an adjacent school yard.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, finding that the development integrates well with the surrounding area, meets the City's Sun Shadow Guidelines, is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024, and represents good land use planning.
