The project itself didn’t come in for a lot of criticism, but councillors Stephen Hammond and Marg Gardiner, who voted against approval, were concerned about city staff recommending that the project bypass a public hearing.
Gardiner noted that, in the past, surprising things have been brought up when the public gets a chance to weigh in.
“I think that I would support this, except that I think that there should be a public hearing,” she said.
City staff pointed out after the vote that the recommendation that the project bypass a public hearing was due to the fact it complied generally with the official community plan, and that it wasn’t a judgment call on the project itself.
