A major project proposed for North Vancouver City has been nixed with the developers blaming a handful of city councillors.
Onni Group says it’s withdrawing its application to develop its project at Lonsdale and 13th because of, “the narrow minded attitudes of a handful of city councillors.”
Mayor Darrell Mussatto says four councillors won out and voted to have a second public hearing in January.
After two years on the books, that’s when Onni said enough is enough.
Mussatto says it’s frustrating and believes there’s a group on council who doesn’t want to see any more development in North Van.
He’s also worried this could send a message to other developers…
“if we can’t do this development here i think it’s going to send a real clear message to the development community that it’s a difficult area to be developing in.”
The proposal included residential, office and retail space.
