Subdivision and zoning appeals allowed in principle; proposed development found compatible with existing neighbourhood.
The applicant appealed the City's failure to make a decision on applications for a zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision to permit a 324-unit residential development.
The applicant and the City reached a settlement, which was opposed by an abutting property owner who argued the proposed lot sizes and setbacks would result in unacceptable adverse impacts on his estate residential property.
The Tribunal found the proposed development was compatible with the broader neighbourhood, provided appropriate transition, and conformed with the applicable official plan policies.
The appeals were allowed in part, and the proposed instruments were approved in principle.
