Trying to capitalize on TD Coliseum event parking!? Probably charge some insane rate too! I'll be sure to walk around there when an event is on and take pics.

If I see a single car parked on the lot that was previously a building I will be immediately contacting the ward 2 office and the city. I will reserve that until I actually see it occurring, but if anyone has a photo of the property being used as parking, please immediately report or send the photo to me and I can do it if you'd rather not.

I get you haven't heard it quack just yet, but it's walking an awful lot like a duck right now...

If this was the case, they could have just left it graded over. What they're doing here looks much more permanent and for the ages.

My thoughts exactly. I had to go through site plan approval for a surface lot of a similar size (also in a downtown, regrettably), and our cost estimates were near $350K just to pave and stripe it, with some additional minor landscaping and lighting. Even if they were able to do this for $150K (really not unrealistic given how basic it is, plus maybe the contractor is a friend), I don't see event parking for several events for a year or two being lucrative enough to justify that cost, especially when it's so clearly an obtuse cut-and-dried violation of a by-law.
 
I love how everyone is just hovering waiting for anything to happen.. like the simpsons spelling bee guy when he asked the girl to spell weather/whether and she asked to use it in a sentence and he said i dont know whether the weather will be good today and you just see him gleefully hovering over the disqualify button as she sweats..

THE SHARKS SMELL BLOOD!
 
It's Vancor, this will be a parking lot and he will pay the fines.. he'll make it back very quick, unless they city forces him to close it. Doubtful. Still actually surprised he didn't go right into building given he usually doesn't wait.
 
That is true, maybe he is running shy on cash flow , his other developments in close proximity are just crawling along.
 
MLE reviewed the site and determined no fines are to currently be levied (obviously) because no vehicles were parked onsite. However, I do wonder if their viewing is part of the reason why this very permanent and serious separation was put up:
