Developers ought to be able to hire their own process approvers at their own cost. Like they sometimes hire private engineers to stamp off approvals.
Forget the City inspectors. Anyone qualified ought to be able to move the process forward.

Did you read the staff report? Oh my. It was like being back in time to 2005, and Malcolm Curtis of the TC was still covering new housing.

Despite the misgivings of city staff, Victoria council Thursday moved forward a 15-unit townhouse project on Shelbourne Street in the Fernwood neighbourhood.
By a vote of 6-3, council agreed to have staff prepare a rezoning amendment for 2540 and 2542 Shelbourne St. that will allow developer Frame Properties to replace two existing single-family homes with the townhouse project in two buildings.
