Last Monday’s City Council meeting saw a motion brought forward to rescind a motion that Council previously approved.

The motion in question was a variance order for the property located at 128 Hemlock Crescent, which is proposed to be a low income housing unit.

The variance itself was in regards to the number of required parking stalls for the three-story, 12-unit building, which applicable by-laws dictate it should have 16 parking units minimum. However, because of the size of the applicable land, and the number of building tenants that would require a parking space, the variance order allowed for six on-site spaces with overflow parking shared with a nearby location.

The motion to rescind was defeated by a vote of 5-4.
