Appeals allowed for 11-storey residential development; proposal found compatible with neighbourhood character.
The applicant appealed the City of Hamilton's refusal to adopt an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit an 11-storey, 148-unit residential building.
The City argued the proposal was an overdevelopment that did not fit the neighbourhood character.
The Tribunal preferred the applicant's planning evidence, finding the proposal was an appropriate form of redevelopment along a major arterial road, achieved a compatible interface with abutting land uses through strategic design methods, and represented good land use planning.
The appeals were allowed.
