“Absolutely no.”
This was the opinion of two Richmond city councillors about a proposed 27-unit rental building in a single-family neighbourhood, which city staff were asking council members to give early feedback on.
In the end, the motion on the rental building proposal on No. 3 Road just south of Williams Road – near Maple Lane elementary – passed in a narrow 5-4 decision. …
Mayor Malcolm Brodie, however, noted the motion city council was voting on was to have the Official Community Plan amendment and rezoning at the same time, and to ask city staff to work with the applicant, based on city council’s feedback, during the technical review of the project.
“They can come back with a much more acceptable product, and there is absolutely no reason we will have to approve anything at a subsequent time unless we find it to be satisfactory,” Brodie told city council.
