Hotels and motels will be conditionally permitted, with any development approvals coming before council.

There is a lack of clarity in the bylaw about what SA国际影视传媒渆ast of FranklinSA国际影视传媒� in Old Town means, said senior administrative officer Sheila Bassi-Kellett.

SA国际影视传媒淚t does cause a lot of grief in its interpretation,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

Coun. Julian Morse stated his opposition to the motion.

SA国际影视传媒淥ld Town is a very important community to Yellowknife for the character of this town and for tourism. This is something that's important enough that we need to consult with residents on it,SA国际影视传媒� said Morse.

There is an opportunity to do that through the community plan, said Morse.
SA国际影视传媒淥ld Town is too important to consider a change this significant without due consideration.SA国际影视传媒�

Any change to the bylaw should clarify what the wording means, said Coun. Niels Konge.

In a letter to the city, resident Lois Little stated her opposition to hotels in the mixed use zone, other than conditional use.

Such use should be SA国际影视传媒渟ubject to no additional parking requirements, no additional traffic congestion and enhancing rather than diminishing the unique and historic integrity of the neighbourhood that is the Old Town,SA国际影视传媒� she wrote.

Changing minor wording in bylaws can have unintended effects, said Bell, adding that residents will have no assurance that future councils will leave the neighbourhood as-is.

SA国际影视传媒淥ne or two wrong moves can completely change the character of the neighbourhood and we have to be extremely careful so I will be voting against the motion,SA国际影视传媒� said Bell.

Any development would have to get council approval, though there are no interested developers on the horizon, said Bassi-Kellett.
