I find this really disturbing.

“In fact, the Vancouver Charter essentially holds all city staff harmless if they make a mistake, and there is no redress against them. But there is with professionals, so the public, and clients, are better protected with the professionals’ seals than by anything city hall does or doesn’t do.”

Especially, since the so called chief planner says that it is junior entry level staff having to deal with such important things? Did she not say that at that "interesting"Grandview meet&greet? :-)

Israel has such a system. The Yemin Moshe neighbourhood in Jerusalem is a good example. They have an office with a design professional available, all plans, models, and a way for neighbours to make suggestions regarding any changes or developments.
