The application requires determination by Council owing to a request that was made by the applicant (through a registered lobbyist). More specifically, the applicant wrote to Council’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and requested that a determination be made that the scale, scope, nature and sensitivity of the application warrants a Council decision. Upon considering the applicant’s request, the CEO and General Manager - Planning and Regulatory Services agreed that the nature of the application warrants a Council decision in line with
