Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments approved in principle for an 8-storey residential development.
Jane Teston Holdings Inc. appealed the City of Vaughan's failure to make a decision on Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments to permit an 11-storey (later revised to 8-storey) residential building.
The City opposed the development, arguing it was an overdevelopment and would cause unacceptable traffic impacts on local roads.
The Tribunal preferred the applicant's expert evidence, finding that the traffic modelling was appropriate and that the development represented a gentle form of intensification that conformed with the Growth Plan, York Region Official Plan, and City of Vaughan Official Plan.
The appeals were allowed in part, approving the amendments in principle.
