White Rock council approves controversial waterfront development.
With cries of “shame” echoing throughout the council chamber, White Rock city council voted Monday to give final approval to a controversial development at the former site of the White Rock Mufflers shop.
Located at the corner of Marine Drive and Oxford Street, the development will see a total of 60 residential units built, as well as 116 parking spaces, and some commercial-use units spread among three buildings.
The decision was made after much back and forth between council members, during which some argued there were too many unknowns to move forward.
