I'm quite sure that the mistake is not mine. Do you have any citation for your claim that Lansdowne is somehow exempt from intensification?

Have a look at the downtown intensification plan developed by Urban Strategies
and incorporated into the City of Ottawa Official Plan.

As you will see, TOD, or Transit Oriented Development.
This is one of the key documents to be used in the OMB appeals.
Lansdowne is never included for the obvious reasons of no rapid transit.
Like I have said the entire developer proposal, tossing out of process at the City,
willful ignorance of the Official Plan has manufactured this entire headache.
That is why you have courts to ensure the Executive of the City, or another
way to look at it, The Board of Directors of the Corporation, have to be accountable
to the public they serve, in this case the taxpayer shareholders. This is entrenched
into jurisprudence from the Supreme Court.
The City must act in good faith and in the best interests of the taxpayer
and follow their own laws.
