Appeal allowed; zoning by-law amendment for rear addition to triplex approved as appropriate intensification.
The applicant appealed the City of Kingston's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment application to permit a two-and-a-half storey rear addition to an existing three-unit residential building.
The City argued the proposal was incompatible with the stable neighbourhood, provided inadequate parking, and constituted overdevelopment.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant's planner, finding that the proposal was an appropriate form of minor intensification that conformed to the Official Plan's compatibility and built form policies.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal and approved the site-specific zoning by-law amendment.
