If there is a commercial area, I wonder if it could be considered a commercial corridor? This shows my lack of knowledge of the area...

Whether Gloria votes for this or not; the policy amendments will fall to regional council to vote on. So she's one vote out of twenty four. The only thing I worry about is that if the policy amendments are passed but they vote down any rezoning or DA; then it just adds to a complicated process.

As for Brightwood - I can see some of it being developed for infill housing (if the golf course ever closed). I don't think that would be bad, but I'd want to see a part of the course kept for parkland.
There is really very little commercial in that area, except for the donut shop/greengables and the superstore by the parclo. both sides of the lake are residential and paddling clubs. While I like the proposed development, it is residential, not sure where the commercial corridor part comes in.
