The 300-unit single-family residential subdivision proposed by Canadian Horizons came before city council today, Feb. 16, in a bid to rezone the area to allow higher density construction in addition to amending the current Official Community Plan bylaw prior to the council beginning a lengthy public consultation process. Councillor Katie Robinson proposed an alternative recommendation to deny first reading of the OCP and zoning amendments, saying she “firmly believed the correct zoning is already on this property, and that would be country residential.”
