It's this pic from the Herald story that I was referring to. And though I would agree that it's still a bit of a stretch, I see the role of a city councilor to use whatever they can to do what's best for the city rather than just cave to the will of the NIMBY. I'll also add that there's signage, landscaping, colour, lighting, etc. that can be used to highlight the heritage aspect of any development not to mention that this mid-rise is placed at the back of the property rather than being in more prominent position at the front of the property.
