Council meets tomorrow and the meeting will slog painfully through twenty or more secondary suite applications. Once that is done, who knows what time it will be, council must then deal with substantive planning matters throughout the city. This could be well into the evening or possibly Tuesday morning.
The rcg application on 26a st will be decided at that time. It is very hard to predict the outcome of this vote, and not because four on council are new. I’d suspect the new councillors will view this application favourably. What isn’t clear is how much community opposition there will be and how effective it is. The applicant appears to have done a good job collecting support for the application and the community association avoided the nimby type reactionary oppposition. This certainly changes my original prediction from the spring where I estimated the chance of success to be low.
I’ll attempt to watch some of the webcast on my cell phone. Attending the meeting to watch in person when you can’t tell what time it will start is really disruptive to my work day. Once the vote is over I will attempt to post as much detail from the results as possible.
The public hearing notice is posted on the property and online. Unfortunately they can’t tell you what time to watch the webcast.
