There's an easy answer for this. Developer should propose projects that fit the current zoning requirements. Step one of project approval...does it meet current zoning (pass/fail). The Marda Loop bloc is zoned for 6 story building. Build out the whole block at 6 stories and make some good $. But no... need 19. A corner lot on my block is zoned for 8 units, but no, the developer wanted 10. So we go through the pantomime of community engagement and protests at council but it still goes through.
