Oak Bay Council has voted narrowly to allow a four storey mixed development at Bowker Avenue and Cadboro Bay Road.
The vote went through on a 4-3 margin at a council meeting on Monday evening.
The contentious project is calling for a 43 unit, mixed use building that will also accommodate businesses on the Cadboro Bay Road Side on the ground floor.
Those who are opposed say it is too high and doesn't fit in the neighborhood--while those who are on board say it would bring much needed housing.
