Kingsville approved increased building heights for two areas outside the downtown core Monday night .

Councillors voted 4 -3 to amend the town’s official plan, which was approved by the province in December , to increase building heights to six storeys from four .

Those who opposed the higher height limits said new planning policies are not aimed at small towns with no transportation, they wanted to preserve small-town character.

Kingsville is appealing to seniors to come to Kingsville , so condominiums are needed.

About 30 per cent of residences in Kingsville were built before 1960 , with most of the rest built in the 1960s and 1990s .

The actual increase in height of the buildings will only be about eight metres , Gaffan said.
