PEC votes 3-2 to support zoning application this week. Up next full council.

It's definitely election season..... Council voted against this proposal in a 5-10 vote... this is despite city planning staff recommending Council to approve it.

There was lots of neighbourhood opposition to this one.

Likely heading to the OLT now.

CBC article on this no vote. Lewis is probably correct in that this will go to the OLT and the City will lose.

The sad part is that some neighbours actually believe the open space was a public park.
