I hope they do, and I'm definitely of the opinion that the PARTS decisions for this part of the world were very poorly done, but it smells pretty bad for a planning structure to be put in place and then just a couple of years later have it abandoned. That's pretty straightforward erosion of trust. The Council members are in a bad place: Keep their word and block a high profile development, or break their word and build a development that achieves almost all their stated density goals.
I think the deferral is because they're still squirming. Uh, deciding.
Perhaps what they're going to do so amend PARTS so that it has no bearing on this area. Really, why did it include that area? It's King and Victoria...
Hopefully the right decision will be made. Nothing "Innovation" about having low rise in that area.
