Ace Hotel Community Meeting November 17, 2015

12/22/2015

The room was packed with residents from the community and about a row of “experts” attending for the developer, there to defend the hotel’s plans whenever there was a question and there were many.  Issues for the community include the narrow lane way between the hotel and Brant Park Lofts, the close proximity of the two buildings, traffic congestion concerns (entrance to the hotel will be from both Brant and Camden), noise pollution from the roof top bar, and the proposed height which is more than double the permitted height.

In follow-up with city planning afterwards: the city appears to have given up trying to enforce the permitted 23 meter height, considers it “out of date,” and now has a “vision” to limit mid-rises to 35 to 40 meters. The Ace plan is for 49.8 meters. The hotel will have no parking.  We were disingenuously told at the meeting  that many guests would be arriving by bicycle!

Please express your concerns to the city planner for the file, Avery Carr, at 416-392-0423 and our City Counselor, Joe Cressy at 416-392-4044.
