Then we need to get the new council to work on the zoning bylaws. But it likely won't be soon enough for this project.
Zoning is already way too restrictive. The idea that it will now require things really goes too far. If retail is actually a good idea at that location then allowing it should be good enough. This is similar to my observation about parking minima: people have in some places started talking about replacing minima with maxima. The idea of just getting rid of the minima and seeing what happens is apparently inconceivable. Remember, all the best parts of the best cities in the world were built without assistance from a planning department.
