Minor Variance application with an increase to 40 storeys / 133.05m and 527 units. A small amount of retail has also been added back in (400 ft²). Bicycle parking has decreased from 517 to 291 with payment in lieu of deficiency.
No updated renderings yet. No CoA Hearing scheduled yet.
@ProjectEnd will still disapprove of the River Street frontage here, and he would be correct (as he usually is)
Revised Ground Floor Plan:
Enlarged for easier discussion of how stupid this is:
Indoor Amenity does not need to be at-grade, that's an easy cut. The Long-term bike parking at-grade might be ideal, but given how little of it is present and how much space it occupies, shifting it elsewhere would seem sensible.
Moving the elevator core at this stage is a big deal and probably not worth pushing for, as it would require re-thinking every floor of the building, but this is a really bad layout.
The exit stairs should be perpendicular to River, not parallel...............holy @#$#.
Who gave the children crayons here......?
Before anyone asks, yes it can fit, but you do have to move a lot of stuff........
There are ~2,700ft2 worth of residential units on level 2 here........those should be kiboshed in favour of the indoor amenity space.
Sigh.
