Griffintown residents overturned the borough's decision to grant an exemption to the zoning bylaw that limits building heights.
The Sub-Ouest borough might allow a developer to build a condo building twice the height of other condos in Little Burgundy in exchange for a new park and 50 units of social housing, but some residents say that's not enough.
"I'm just surprised by this proposal and the fact that it's so unclear in terms of the justification," said Dinu Bumbaru, Heritage Montreal's policy director.
