The sense I've gotten sitting on a downtown strata near this project is that while there are a group of dissidents on the DRA and on other downtown stratas that vehemently oppose this project (for whatever reason), those in opposition essentially believe this has been a green lit project from the City since day one, so are basically just trying to raise a stink as high as they can knowing that it's going to get approved regardless.
Whether you like it or not, the DRA is only very solid footing here in my opinion. There is recent legal precedent in Vancouver where the courts have overturned a rezoning decision based on facts very similar to this. You simply cannot ignore the OCP and residents association to push through whatever special deals you want.
Should be an interesting meeting. May come down to the Mayor casting the deciding vote even though she was the one who signed the contract with the developer. I would think that given this and the role the Jawl family took supporting her re-election campaign (hosting her campaign launch) she should recuse herself.
