Appeal filed against Parkside Inn building

An appeal with nineteen supporters has been filed against the Parkside Inn Motel development permit.

The appeal application rolled in on November 6, 2018, and the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board has 30 days from that date to schedule a Public Hearing. 

In the Primary Notice of Appeal, the appellant claims that “a member of the appeal board’s ethics are questioned”. They say that Mayor Bill Given being part of two boards, Community Advisory Board on Homelessness and Opioid Task Force, “tainted” a decision made at an Infrastructure and Protective Services committee meeting about the building. They also claim a relative of his working at Addiction and Mental Health North Zone is also a conflict of interest. 

Other appellants talk about safety, drug use and property value impacts as reasons for their appeal.
