As predicted, proposed 2-tower Kitchener development goes to OLT
Predictions from Kitchener councillors that a rejected development would go to the Ontario Land Tribunal have come to fruition.
After council voted down Burlington-based LJM Developments contentious two-tower project at 4611 King St. E. on March 3 due to residents’ concerns — despite warnings the issue could go to the tribunal — the company filed an appeal April 4 to amend the official plan and the comprehensive zoning bylaw.
Residents and a majority of councillors never seemed to get on board with the project near the King Street East and Hwy. 401 interchange, which was whittled down to two towers at 26 and 14 storeys, from 33 and 22 storeys and 545 condominium units reduced from 726.
