Third reading: City council votes 5-2 in favour of amendments to allow shopping centre plan to go ahead.
City council has approved the necessary amendments for the SmartCentres proposal to proceed.
The final vote was five to two for the official community plan and rezoning amendments, with Mayor Marty Bootsma in favour along with Couns. Kevin Flynn, Chad Eliason, Debbie Cannon and Alan Harrison. Opposed were Couns. Ivan Idzan and Ken Jamieson. Only for an amendment to the rezoning, to limit the footprint of the anchor tenant to 116,000 square-feet, did council vote unanimously in favour. Jamieson was alone in opposing the phased development agreement (PDA), which would lock zoning in place for 10 years and would provide the city with some amenities.
