I think the Ship has very valid concerns, I love that place and would be sad if it had to close or change significantly. We need live music venues in this city and the Ship is basically the heart of 17th. I also wouldn't have a lot of faith in Strategic, they don't seem the most trustworthy of developers.

Someone needs to show the Ship what happened when Marda Loop businesses said loudly and often, "don't come here." Their worry is about residents complaining about the live music. Isn't that on the residents? If the Ship isn't violating bylaws, that's just too bad if you rent an apartment and don't realize your downstairs neighbour is a busy live music venue.

I think the Ship has very valid concerns, I love that place and would be sad if it had to close or change significantly. We need live music venues in this city and the Ship is basically the heart of 17th. I also wouldn't have a lot of faith in Strategic, they don't seem the most trustworthy of developers.

I think a couple things are true, the Ship will probably be fine (in the end), but they are fair to be concerned and shouldn't be assumed to know everything about how the development process works, and the planning process isn't the only tool here that is being confused together.

For example, I don't see how the developer can construct the scale and size of building they are envisioning around and above the ship without covering the patio for safety, which materially would impact how that business works and functions for a year or two. It's got to be the highest revenue patio in the city. That's not really something to figure out at this stage but is a legitimate question that impacts the business and customers, especially concerning if the developers are already demonstrating unclear and spotty communication with the business.

Similarly how noise complaints work within buildings - Ship has loud music until 2 or 3 am. Will this still be allowed in a mixed-use building? I assume so, but what does the rules say? How will it actually work? Without an answer, the Ship has a legitimate question.

Every concern can be mitigated, but it really takes effort from the developer and some acknowledgement of how important a tenant the Ship is. That's the concerning part if the developer can't already demonstrate that in the earliest of stages of development.

I love the Ship, have been going there almost 30 years, love punk rock bingo, love the patio...

But seeing a live show there has always kind of sucked unless it's, like, a weekend afternoon chill thing with a small crowd. So, I don't personally feel like it's a mainstay of the live music scene here.

Edit: To be clear, I want them to be able to stay open and make some noise.

This outline plan application proposes an outline for the future subdivision and development of 4.97 hectares of land in the community of Lincoln Park.

Curious where they plan to relocate their manufacturing facility... Would be good to have this underutilized part of the city filled in.

Maybe they'll develop it themselves with their modular stuff...seems like a good location for small+simple units:

Cadillac Fairview is on a roll!

I wonder if one of these sites could be the coveted 'Allies and Morrison' proposal we've been hearing so much about... Maybe, even, a redevelopment of the mall proper...

I usually don't get too excited about LOCs but this is exciting. All the talk about Chinook LRT being surrounded by high-rises, just might happen. Throw in a couple of 35-50 storey towers, and I won't ask for another Christmas gift ever.

It’s great to see new land use applications for Currie and the Chinook, especially Chinook. It appears high density development is about to take off.

I don't know anything of her performance as president /ceo but from my small dealings with her she seemed passionate over low income housing. Always sad when someone looses their gig.

So we're most likely looking at more towers going up around Chinook, and judging by the size of those lots, you could put more than one tower on each lot.

Yes, quite possible.

Description
The application proposes to change the land-use designation of this property from 'DC Bylaw 219D2016' to 'MU-1 f8.0h110' to allow for:

• a mixed-use development comprising of commercial and residential dwelling units in street-oriented buildings throughout the site;
• a maximum building height of 110 metres, about 26 storeys (an increase from the current maximum of 90 metres); and
• a maximum building floor area of approximately 96,800 sq.m. to occupy a parcel size of 1.21 hectares.

They use the word buildings, plural so maybe.

A smaller block to the north has 4 towers on it. The Chinook parcels are larger than this one. I'd expect 4-6 towers going up on each one.
