With the changes recommended for the surrounding infrastructure there is no way this doesn't pass.

They've put in a lot effort without any sober thought into is this as bad as it is being made out to be. I assume there has been some disingenuous twisting of the facts that "they want to put 15 towers varying between 11 and 30 storeys there". Sure, they could do that but there is zero chance Glenmore Landing gets more towers than the Beltline has in a decade and becomes more dense than any other large scale development in the city's history.

The reality is a much smaller scale development occurs that still takes 15 years+ to build. Also, if you live close enough to walk to what could be a mini University District style development that will definitely be a positive for you and your already high property value.

Agreed. With the dedicated BRT right there, this is a perfect location for this kind of density.

Ignore the naysayers, they aren't saying anything other than No.
 
There’s an additional 4 panels left to speak, and I think this item is deferred until tomorrow now as they are starting a Bowness item after the dinner break. This likely won’t be decided on until late morning, early afternoon tomorrow now.
 
Looking at the picture in today’s Calgary Herald article about this topic, of the people sitting in the gallery in council chambers, who are opposed to this rezoning app, appear to be middle aged/elderly and when it comes time to downsize from their neighbouring SFH I bet they would appreciate living in these apartments, with the views and the amenities on their doorstep!

Agreed, some of the fastest selling units in UD have been $1M+ estate condos targeting retirees
 
Too bad, the lesson learned is to probably not show the maximum. The summary I can get from the nays is that it is too dense. The reality was this was never going to happen overnight. I assume they'll come back with a lowered density first phase and come back some time in the next ten years to increase the density.

Maybe that isn't what happened but that's my recollection.
