The question of whether neighbours were properly notified of an apartment rezoning in Glenmore was raised at city council害羞草研究所檚 Aug. 12 meeting.

The application was amended and adopted to allow a rental-only apartment project to move ahead.

Councillor Ron Cannan said he received several phone calls and emails from neighbours around the property at 1232 Glenmore Drive that they were unaware of the application.

Staff told council that proper procedures were adhered to.

She added that changes to policies or notification areas would require a separate discussion of council and are not related to one specific application.
