The RareBirds are taking flight with their housing co-op after City council approved their project rezoning Tuesday night.
The co-op housing proposal involves 12 people living together under one roof with a communal kitchen and shared expenses. Neighbours who spoke for and against the project all agreed it was a good idea and well planned.
But some felt the large-scale building wouldn't fit in with the small-scale houses nearby.
RareBirds spokesman Dan Hines said so far, the co-op consists of three couples and two singles, with room for one more single or couple.
They will share space, vehicles and expenses in the equity co-op, but with larger than normal bedrooms.
