'Don't want to be tickling an elephant': View Royal 6-month rezoning moratorium fails on a tie vote
Council voted 3-3, and a tie vote means the motion fails. Mayor Sid Tobias, and councillors Ron Mattson and Don Brown voted in favour of the motion with councillors Gery Lemon, Alison MacKenzie and John Rogers against. Coun. Damian Kowalewich was absent from the meeting.
“The purpose of this moratorium was to allow for a comprehensive evaluation, strategic alignment, public engagement and the review of existing development provincial housing legislation and our Official Community Plan.” “So it also is probably beneficial to them to not spend their time and energy trying to do proposals to us during this period of time because it’s very difficult for us to approve them if we are still in the process of determining the OCP and where we would like the high-density development and what we’d like it to look like.”
“We all want mindful development in our town that respects our distinct character and our values and enhances it just a place to live, but I also don’t want to be tickling an elephant.”
