I'm not familiar with planning legislation in Alberta but I can't imagine there is any way for the Flames to have a veto on the development of property owned by other persons (which is otherwise consistent with the City's Official Plan, zoning by-laws, etc). City staff don't even have such a veto.

The whole thing just seems to get more and more absurd.
