I listened last night too. Im moving back to KW area for work soon so thanks to whoever shared the zoom link! I thought staff did a good job explaining what the existing zoning allows and the intended vision for the nieghbourhood... plus it is in downtown! and we need to build around the LRT and not for cars so that was well emphasized by staff. There were questions about construction dust and noise, traffic and 3 bedroom units from...most likely empty nesters who live in 3 bedroom + houses. Some suggested combining the 1 and 2 bedroom units to 3 bedroom units however i would think 100, 1 and 2 bedroom affordable units is better than say 50 , 3 bedroom units. Overall was happy that there were not the typical nimbys at the meeting and hopefully the Region will see more purpose built affordable housing projects like this one.
