Council Approves Rezoning For Lorneville Development


A rezoning application for a proposed development in Lorneville touched off a big debate on how the city wants to grow at Common Council.
The proposal is to several hundred units on King William road and could include a convenience store or gas bar.
Chief City Planner Ken Forrest says the report was difficult to write based on the 1973 municiplan plan.

Many around the horshoe like the development itself just not the location.
A motion to defer the matter until October for a financial impact assessment resulted in a tie vote and in the end, council approved the original motion to rezone the property.
