It was basically Vive gave the changes to planning staff on Wednesday, this plan included a 2m side yard set back which staff really didn't like, Vive then kept refining it over Thursday/Friday and then today they submitted a further revised plan that had set backs of 5-6m but it was submitted so late that staff didn't have time to go over it and draft a new bylaw, which ultimately resulted in councillors to defer it to the 30th so staff can have more time to work through it with Vive. It's so annoying how council keeps saying we need more density/housing and are asking developers for extra height, yet they somehow expect the developers to come back with a perfect revised plan in a matter of 1-2 weeks. They can always approve the height and density now and work out issues related to set backs at the site plan approval stage via a holding provision.
