Quote: Towering over what?

That location can't possibly be offensive in height to much.


Probably not. So, what's the optimum height for this area? Because you should lobby to get the zoning changed to that.

There's a high likelihood that this project was proposed with 6-storeys in mind. You don't go before Victoria's planning department with an 8-storey proposal unless you're really hoping to build 6.

I think the change from eight to six stories is because the third level of underground parking that was planned turned out to be too extensive to build, and so the size of the building was reduced because two levels of parking would be far too little for eight floors of office.

This is detailed in this TC article from August - http://www.timescolonist.com/business/High+costs+small+plans+motel+site/5266154/story.html

IMO the height change has nothing to do with height.

Ah, thanks for the link. That definitely put a different spin on it.
