Land around University Avenue, the Cherry Brook Zoo, and Sandy Point road being considered for development but council voting not to go ahead with a public hearing on the matter which quashes the project.
Councillor Gary Sullivan says while he's in favour of the project, there has been a lot of public outcry against it.
However, Councillor Chris Titus says a public hearing is the most democratic process and making decisons based on public emails is a disservice to the institution of council.
Titus and Councillor McGuire voting against shelving the public meeting.
