Council puts vote on hold after judge orders against City of Winnipeg in Parker Lands rezoning clash

A judge has ordered the City of Winnipeg to hear an application for the Fulton Grove development.

The project in the Parker Lands along the BRT line would see hundreds of housing units on 47 acres.

A report before city council says the rezoning application for the development should not be considered because it lacks details.

A judge has disagreed, ruling a city committee must hold a hearing on Nov. 13, saying this has dragged on for five years with no progress.

Still, city council is set to vote on the report that would see the hearing denied.

UPDATE: Because of the ruling, council put the vote on the report on hold, so it’s still unclear whether the hearing will take place.
