Appeals allowed in part to approve official plan and zoning amendments for a mixed-use master-planned community.
The appellant appealed the City of Waterloo's failure to make a decision on official plan and zoning by-law amendment applications to permit a mixed-use, master-planned community with approximately 1,800 residential units.
The Tribunal found that the proposed 'Mixed-Use High Density Residential' designation was appropriate and ordered a minimum requirement of 3,000 square metres of non-residential gross floor area.
The Tribunal also approved requested relief for building heights and tower floorplates, finding that detailed urban design, transportation, and parkland dedication matters would be appropriately addressed through the subsequent site plan approval process.
The appeals were allowed in part to approve the revised instruments with modifications.
