City staff were slated to publish a report on June 28 with their recommendation on the amendment Hazelview is seeking, but that has been pushed to Aug. 16, with a vote by planning committee scheduled for Aug. 26.
Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the evictions were traumatic for residents, and he wants to keep the community as intact as possible. Hazelview has to sign on the dotted line. Hazelview has to commit to those affordable housing units in Heron Gate, and they have to do so now, said Cloutier.
Cloutier said he has slideshows and notes from community meetings over the past two years in which Hazelview made promises, but he has yet to see a final, legally binding document.
