District of Sechelt denies SSC proposal

One of the biggest development proposals in Sechelt history won’t be going forward.

Sechelt Sustainable Community’s request for first reading of its bylaw and to proceed to a public hearing was denied and only one councilor, in Darnelda Siegers was in favour of the developers request to move the project along.

Mayor Bruce Milne expressed his concerns about the project and felt the project is not a right fit for the community.

Councillor Siegers feels it would have been beneficial to move the project to a public hearing so the municipality could give the community a chance to express their thoughts about the proposal.

But other councilors expressed concerns about even moving it past the first reading of its bylaw as they felt the project doesn’t fit the OCP, too many risks are involved and that it wouldn’t benefit the community.
