Residents will get the chance to voice their opinions on a proposed development in the Wildstone area that could bring 252 housing units.
The development would have two phases with two, four-story buildings being built in each phase.
The proposed site is at 950 Wildstone Drive.
The land needs to be rezoned to allow for the second phase of the project.
It first came to council in the spring and was met with concern from nearby residents.
The main concern was over increased traffic and a traffic impact study was conducted.
The study found that the nearby intersections operate well under existing conditions and continue to operate well with an assumed growth rate of two per cent which is on the high end of Cranbrook’s growth.
Councillor Norma Blissett said that will hopefully assure residents.
“The traffic impact study was an important part of moving forward,” she said.
“Many of the letters in opposition were citing concerns about traffic, so now that the information has been provided those people can review.”
A public hearing will be held on Oct. 20 in council chambers.
