After a lengthy public hearing Tuesday, council voted in favour of the rezoning, but the vote wasn’t unanimous with councillors Brad Sieben, Mohini Singh and Charlie Hodge voting in against the project.
The facility will house up to 50 men who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
Some residents say the facility is too close to schools while others say they fear for their safety.
