CALGARY --
Canmore council has rejected an application for a large commercial and residential project that has faced vocal local opposition.
All six councillors voted against the proposal, with Mayor John Borrowman casting the lone vote in favour.
The plan was to go to third reading two weeks ago but was delayed after the developer asked for more time in addressing a series of significant amendments to the plan passed by council in late April.
The amendments would have doubled the amount of housing deemed "affordable" from 10 to 20 per cent. It also sought guarantees that commercial space would be built early in the plan which was expected to take up to 30 years to complete.
