City Staff has been instructed to do a little more digging into the plans for the consolidation of lots and changes for a property on the corner of Sloan and McKay streets, that after City Council discussed the proposal for a zoning change as part of their Monday session.
As we noted on Monday, the project was the subject of a scheduled Public Hearing for Monday night, though no recording of that process has been posted for review through the city's video page.
The topic did however come up for discussion at the end of the Council session Monday and there were a number of areas of the request for the zoning change that made for discussion and additional measures to be put in place before it comes back for a final vote.
Monday night Councillor Adey noted of some similarities to a recent zoning issue at Council and observed of the potential for a larger vertical impact from the rezoning request, a topic which in the end led to the decision to put in place a covenant on the property to keep its current footprint in place as is.
Likewise, Councillor Barry Cunningham expressed his concern over the prospect of work taking place prior to any civic approval being granted and called attention to some areas of note related to parking on the site.
"I notice that there's a lot of construction going on in that building and I don't see any building permit on display. So again I don't know if we've got another problem with construction going on before this is passed or not, but it's something else I would like to check into"
