From Niagara This Week:
Despite “uniquely strong” opposition from city staff, council gave the go-ahead for the densest hotel development in the city — one which could also have dramatic adverse environmental affects for Fallsview Avenue.
But the developer says the major impact can be corrected during the design phase and the 383-room, 30-storey Hampton Inn development at 6505 Fallsview Boulevard means more jobs and more tax revenue for the city.
“This is exactly where this type of development should be and is needed,” said Italia Gilberti, the lawyer for Victor and Carmen Menechella, the hoteliers who want to build the hotel.
City planning staff advised council to deny the proposal because the hotel doesn’t have adequate setbacks, is not supported by the architectural peer review board and could create potential wind problems.
