Arts Centre in 12-Storey High-Rise in 1400 Block

This is what the staff of the District’s Planning Department are bringing forward to the next council meeting (See Staff’s proposal below .. then Graham McIsaac’s Post on right panel->)

The site is large enough that a significant outdoor space could be provided as part of the arts facility above the retail space. This density could be expressed in several ways including a two storey podium with two twelve storey elements above (as viewed from Marine Drive). Alternatively, a nine storey proposal with a more uniformed height could achieve the same density

HOWDY NEIGHBOURS ! Some local residents might be interested in the view from this 12 storey proposal .. and how it might affect their own views (as Cclr Gambioli says “No-one owns a view”!)

Council meeting scheduled to consider this proposal is on Monday 12th April
