Frankly, I wish the ficticious all-powerful Druh Farrell boogeyman that exists in the minds of Rick Bell and Licia Corbella readers actually existed. Calgary would be a much better city for it.

Council does not vote on Development Permits but they are circulated to the Councillor of the ward. So a councillor can provided comments on an individual Development Permit application if they want to. No idea how much sway they could have on an application, but Druh very well could opposed this application.
