    Discussion

    Lengthy debate and public input. Council considered an applicant-supplied letter adding public realm commitments; staff explained conditions and enforcement mechanisms. Concerns included unit counts, adaptable units, shadowing, public realm and infrastructure funding, and tenant protection/maintenance of existing dwellings. Council ultimately moved the complex, amended resolution (read in full by Councillor Wagner) and carried the main motion after an unsuccessful amendment attempt.

    Decision: Withdrawn the amendment to remove the 10% three-bedroom requirement.

    Withdrawn

    Decision: Gave 1st-3rd readings to rezone Peatt and Sunderland Road parcels to CCP, with conditions.
