High-density residential development appeals dismissed due to incompatibility with existing low-rise suburban neighbourhood.
The applicant appealed the City of Hamilton's failure to make decisions on applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Site Plan Approval to permit a high-density residential development consisting of 1,060 units in buildings ranging from 3 to 26 storeys.
The subject property is located in a predominantly low-rise suburban neighbourhood.
The Tribunal found that the proposed development was inappropriately placed, incompatible with the existing neighbourhood character, and lacked adequate access to transit, community facilities, and active transportation networks.
The appeals were dismissed.
