ty council is expected to give
final approval April 7 to a
bylaw amendment to rezone
three parcels of land in the
200 block East 8th Street.

Monday, council gave second and
third reading to a zoning amend-

that a similar development, on ad-
jacent lots, would result in rows of
identical housing along the street.

guidelines to prevent rows,’ city
planner Richard White replied.

developers seem to go for almost
