As such, no ability to appeal now that the appeal period has passed. I encouraged the applicant to go to the community meeting last Friday to answer questions and engage with the community, which they did. I also understand they are going to talk to the City a bit further about the application and hopefully more with the community.

Ya, the communities and their associations aren't impressed. Apparently the property managers have been trying for the last 5 years or so to put something in there, with the last communication to the community being a year and a half or so ago, where rejections were supposedly written up by, at least, the Rundle and Pineridge associations. There is just no room to put anything else there without screwing up traffic, parking, businesses in the mall, and making it even more dangerous for kids from the school.
