Zoning by-law amendment for 78-unit apartment building approved with modifications to address privacy and overlook concerns.
The appellant appealed a Zoning By-law Amendment approved by the municipality that permitted the development of a 78-unit, three-storey apartment building.
The appellant argued the development was incompatible with surrounding low-density residential uses and would cause privacy and overlook issues.
The Tribunal accepted the expert planning evidence of the municipality that the development represented appropriate intensification and that privacy concerns could be mitigated through the site plan control process.
The appeal was allowed in part to implement agreed-upon revisions to the by-law regarding setbacks, balconies, and landscaping, but was otherwise dismissed.
