City rejects Onni's compensation offer
"“(Maritime use zoning) would have been an amazing, amazing opportunity,” said Coun. Carol Day.
“What we’ve lost here is a marina, a community with a vibe, viable businesses that could contribute to the village of Steveston…we lost probably the most special harbour site improvement on the West Coast of Canada."
No. No one cares about maritime use zoning at all. Those are not viable businesses and would have pretty much no benefit to people walking around Steveston.
"Roston said he will recommend a different consultant to the city staff to revisit the assessment."
Must be taking a book out of the NDP handbook. When one consultant doesn't give you the answer you are looking for, keep hiring one until they do. |
Well, unless you're a Steveston resident you don't really speak with any authority as to what they want. If not, it's just another SSPer who thinks developers can do no wrong. Go back and reread some of the comments from those in the know and see what they hint at regarding ONNI's reputation.
Personally I'm surprised they didn't go for the offer but it appears the City is bound and determined to teach them a lesson.
