Did this go to the Committee?

I like those tiles

Settlement with the city approved yesterday at council.

It was originally done without variances. Under the city's new interpretation of the zoning by-law, it would have triggerd a bunch of variances because it would be deemed an apartment building.

Spoke with someone on-site. Commercial spaces should be open within a week or two. Laneway suite is rented to a family (4 bedrooms) and they've started to move in already. There will be different cladding on top of the green.

Paula should have bought it and developed it herself.

It is bold! Not something you see often

This is going up quick! I talked to one of the guys on site and he said that that isn't the finished exterior cladding for the laneway suite, so it won't look like that. Big ceiling heights on the commercial space.

WTF Saxe deferred the item at Council. What's going on here?

Saxe had the recommendations amended to include a bunch of site plan conditions, which was then adopted.

Doesn't look like it will be anything like what BC legalized, sadly

Specifically, the application to amend the heritage on the site and enter into a heritage agreement was deferred so that it could go forward concurrent with the zoning by-law amendment that is apparently coming forward next month.

Really positive staff report for Heritage.

I really like that diagonal cut they added. Allows at least some light to get to rear units of the co-op building.

Thread on X with a lot of the details
