Thank you for sharing this, Rhonda. It makes a bit more sense now, I didn't know they were selling the "project" and not actually planning to develop it.
Not surprised at all. One of the developments makes sense the other doesn’t. You actually need to drive through this community to understand. There was a reason council turned this site down 3 years ago and said townhomes. This developer should have done due diligence. He is just upset he lost his cash cow. He is trying to sell it for 8 million based on the approval of the city permits he expected. Development needs to be about what is right not about developer profits. https://macdonaldcommercial.com/listings/381493...

Did you know the developer has the property listed for sale at a significant profit boasting on the sales listing of permits to build in August. Does the greed change your opinion at all , he is composing as he lost his cash cow. He should have done his due diligence and would have known this site was declined for this type of development in the past. Development has to be smart and fit the community, one of the sites no one was against as it works and fits the community. https://macdonaldcommercial.com/listings/381493...
Good on the developer for calling out the inconsistency with a similar unit being approved a block away. Hopefully they reconsider, and as the article states, can work out the fine details during the development permit instead of this rezoning request.

It actually was declined previously as well 3 years ago and the developer at that time was told to come back with townhomes. He sold it instead at a large profit citing the future OCP. The 2 locations are vastly different even though close together.
Wow what, so weird. I don't see what is so different about this proposal compared wit other approved housing, especially as we need more rentals. It is for sure a "rare decision".

This was rejected by council for being "too dense" despite a desire to increase density along the Glenmore Transit Corridor.
