City of Vaughan Puts the Brakes (For Now) on Khomeinists' Muslims-Only Condo Development

A task force is going to "study" the sucker:

The city is striking a special community working group to address concerns about a contentious Muslim condominium complex in Thornhill Woods.                              

"What's going to happen, I would hope, out of this (working group) will be some further insights, information, perhaps even some significant changes that would be made to the application that would come from the agreed upon results of this group's deliberations," Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman said.

The unusual move by council Tuesday afternoon to establish a working group for this proposed development comes nearly two weeks after hundreds of residents descended on city hall for a public hearing.

They came to air concern about, or voice support for, the Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat of Toronto's proposal to build two 17-storey residential towers, 61 townhouses and retail space on its 11- hectare property at 9000 Bathurst St., south of Rutherford Road. 

The new Islamic community would be built around the Jaffari Community Centre...

Let's hope the task force takes this into consideration (although I doubt it will).
