Welland council unanimously rejected a six-tower housing project due to height, parking, traffic, and neighborhood impact concerns.
Welland city council unanimously rejected zoning changes for a six-tower residential project on Niagara Street, citing excessive height, inadequate parking, traffic concerns, and negative impacts on neighboring homes.
The proposal, by The Development Squad, would have replaced eight single-family homes with 879 units across six buildings, including two 16-storey towers—double the city’s current eight-storey limit.
Despite reducing the tallest structure from 25 to 16 storeys, councillors and residents called the plan incompatible with the neighborhood’s low-density character, citing privacy invasion, shadowing, and parking shortfalls.
Nearly 1,000 residents opposed the project, and officials emphasized that the revised plan still failed to align with local values and infrastructure capacity.
El consejo de Welland rechazó por unanimidad un proyecto de vivienda de seis torres debido a la altura, el estacionamiento, el tráfico y las preocupaciones de impacto en el vecindario.
