Some of our astute readers will be acquainted with Terminal City's development permit board, whose purpose is "to consider various types of development applications, primarily those which, due to their scale and context, or because of community controversy, may have a significant impact on their surroundings." That board is advised by a panel of nine non-voting members who are appointed by city council for a two year term - four of which represent the general public. Or do they? Named to that panel as general public representatives during an in-camera meeting on March 21 were Darren Chung and Colleen Nystedt. Ms. Nystedt, of course, ran as a Non-Partisan Association council candidate in the recent election. And Mr. Chung, an association supporter, is presently a development assistant with Adera Development Corp. - "one of B.C.'s most trusted home builders." Two seats on the panel are already reserved for the development industry.
What's that you're telling us?
Extra developers instead of folks from that supposedly 'real', but neither classic nor classy, oldstyle progressive rump faction that, along with the other Mr. Green's bus, helped to push Mr. Sullivan over the top in the last days of the last election being appointed to development permit boards.
I'm shocked, I tell you.
Just shocked.
.
Given that the developer community gave far more to the not classic, not classy Jim Green rump faction than to the NPA, I actually AM shocked that they got any favours. I guess the NPA is developer friendly out of some sort of principle.
