Victoria Watcher posted topic Sidney proposes capping building heights

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems to me they would want to leave some area to attract some towers with views, big tax base.

Sidney's upward trend in building heights might be coming to an end.
A staff report, part of the official community plan (OCP) review, is recommending Sidney cap the elevation of future buildings along Beacon Avenue east of Fifth Street to three storeys, and to four storeys elsewhere in the downtown core, with a more detailed height allowance map to be worked out for later public input.
The report leaves room for downtown buildings with five storeys, but only in the area from Highway 17 to the half block along Beacon Avenue before Fifth Street, and only by approval through a rezoning or variance request if a "significant public amenity" such as social housing is part of the proposal.

What's the fastest way for a billionaire to double his money? To sell a bunch of millennials dirt in the desert for vastly inflated sums of money.

Telosa is an American eco city idea so grand that they don't yet know where they'll put it (note: it'll go to whichever state gives them the biggest tax break or goodies). Telosa will be a city of five million people, the proponents say, and it'll have live in residents by 2030.

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Superflux {Cabana} - 804 Broughton at Blanshard" in forum "Restaurant & Eatery Reviews".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Superflux Beer Company is promising residents of Victoria a trip – even if it's only a couple of blocks from home.
The East Vancouver-based brewery is renovating a vacated restaurant space at 804 Broughton St. in advance of its anticipated fall opening of Superflux {Cabana}. The venue will seat up to 115 guests and is self-described as a "Las Vegas Pool Bar Trip with Hunter S. Thompson."
{Cabana} is being developed by Superflux founders Adam Henderson and Matt Kohlen, who opened their brewery in the heart of "Yeast Van" in 2020. The space is being redesigned in partnership with Studio Roslyn, who also created updated spaces for Superbaba and the Parsonage Cafe in Victoria.
