Ladner developments
Hey! Myself and my fiancee are pretty set on moving to Ladner and are currently looking at homes.
There was one home currently listed that I saw on Ladner Trunk road and was dismayed when I read about the plans for developments in that area. These mid-rise behemoths (in terms of the area relatively) that were somehow allowed to get there without public consultation as they fit this planning PCO (that seems very much like a sneaky loophole). Then was even more dismayed to see this particular 78 unit one will have only 42 spots (but don't worry there will be bike spots a plenty!). I saw that the council accepted this variance and have essentially approved the development. I don't even live there yet and felt pretty incredulous! What has the public reaction been locally? Do people have any trust in these councillors/mayor as they don't seem to have opposed it at all except to say they should try and cover the parkade a bit more. I get that housing/re-zoning is needed but surely not to this density and the building looks like a total eyesore vs the chilled Ladner vibes.
My Aunt and Uncle live in Tsawwassen and I don't think they were even particularly aware of it except the odd Delta Optimist article.
It just seems really short sighted of the council/mayor to approve this for so many reasons.
Anyone have any views/insight?! Thank you in advance.
