4 Notice of Decision to Refuse a Zoning Bylaw Amendment Burlington City Council refused an application to amend Zoning Bylaw 2020, as amended, on Dec. 19, 2016, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, 1990, as amended. File number: /15 (PB ) (Adi Development Group). The application requested that 4853 Thomas Alton Blvd. be rezoned to permit a residential development consisting of traditional townhouses, stacked townhouses, and apartments with a maximum density of 305 units per hectare and maximum height of 19 storeys. The reasons for Council s refusal are that the proposed development would negatively impact the neighbourhood and adjacent properties due to the proposed building heights being incompatible with the low-density character of the surrounding area and the proposed density resulting in future traffic flows that would further constrain the existing transportation system. This application represents an over-intensification of a high-density land use.
