A proposed planning amendment to increase the allowable building height in downtown Sackville has moved forward, and will be back at Tantramar council for a public hearing on November 25.
Developer John Lafford and property owner Mike Wilson have requested the change in order to make way for a seven storey building they have planned for York Street at Ford Lane.
Plan 360 planner Lori Bickford told councillors that the change would apply to the entire mixed use zone in downtown Sackville, which includes some residential streets.
Bickford did not offer up a solution for Councillor Josh Goguen, who asked about the possibility of adjusting the height limit for the York Street property only, while not affecting the rest of the zone.
