Tribunal approves 11-storey mixed-use development, finding it compatible with the evolving character of Kerr Village.
The applicant appealed the Town of Oakville's failure to adopt an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit an 11-storey mixed-use building.
The Town opposed the development, arguing it was incompatible with the small-scale Main Street character and failed to conform to the Urban Structure.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part, finding that the proposed development conforms to the Regional and Town Official Plans, is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, and achieves compatibility with the surrounding area through appropriate urban design, setbacks, and stepbacks.
The Tribunal approved the amendments in principle, withholding its Final Order pending the finalization of the zoning instruments.
