CALGARY --
Canmore council delayed its decision on the contentious Three Sisters Village proposal Tuesday, citing the need for further study.
The plan will come back for third and final reading May 25.
In April council voted to reject the developers other parallel proposal, Smith Creek, and then passed a series of amendments to the remaining Three Sisters plan.
The amendments sought guarantees commercial space would be built first, and also doubled the amount of "affordable housing" in the plan from 10 per cent to 20 per cent.
Councillors expressed concern about allowing the development to move ahead without guaranteeing a strong commercial tax base to help support the added residential infrastructure.
