Edmonton city council votes to keep maximum number of units in mid-block infills at eight units.

Mayor Amarjeet Sohi is not running for re-election, so the issue will likely be an election issue.

Two missing councillors, Tim Cartmell and Sarah Hamilton , loomed large in a 6 -5 vote.

One month ago , the city’s administration presented a one-year review of the new omnibus zoning bylaw.

At the time, it did not advise council to adjust the cap.

On Tuesday , that committee recommendation was supported by administration.

Coun. Erin Rutherford said the about-face had her confused.

“Why was it not recommended as a course of action on June 3 ?” asked Rutherford .
