Developers of a unique building planned for downtown have again wedged their way before council, this time with staff support.

City staff is recommending the building dubbed 乌鸦传媒淭he Wedge乌鸦传媒� be approved for Water Street and Leon Avenue.

Staff was not supportive of the project when it first came to the city in March 2020 due to an inability to provide any parking within the development, and the applicant乌鸦传媒檚 unwillingness to provide payment under the city乌鸦传媒檚 cash-in-lieu of parking bylaw.

The developer made changes and went back to council in May, and the project received approval in a 6-3 council vote at a public hearing in June.

The original plans envisioned a six-storey building, but after the initial development permit expired, new plans were submitted to the city in June showing a redesigned two-storey structure.

Newly submitted documents show the developer is now willing to pay cash-in-lieu of providing parking.

Council will consider the application at Monday乌鸦传媒檚 (Aug. 8) meeting.
