I agree the urban expansion areas added to Mount Hope are unusual, but they are generally along a designated transit corridor (A line), close to the major employment areas coming to the AEGD, and will have freeway access soon with highway 6 having funding to be upgraded to a full freeway.

what surprises me about the plan the most is the almost complete lack of single detached units. The east parcel of the developers doesn't have a single SFH lot on it. This is very dense by new suburban development standards. You can also see how the suburban market in Hamilton has trended strongly towards townhouses lately.

With regards to servicing, the city will be legally required to extend servicing at some point. I imagine this would be their lowest priority area within the urban boundary to service though, with the other urban boundary expansion areas being more natural expansions of the existing urban area.
