Address:
1150 Cook Street is a proposal for a 15-storey condominium tower with ground floor commercial space along the 1100-block of Cook Street at View Street in downtown Victoria's Harris Green neighbourhood.
The building is planned to rise on the former site of Pluto's Diner, which was situated in a converted mid-20th century service station.

Alternative Headline: The world is shocked, the DRA ignores their Terms of Reference and opposes yet another downtown project!
...in Richmond we explicitly tell developers not to include the December shadow study because it is always 90% shadow, even when you're dealing with three storey buildings.

No wonder the DRA is so concerned about winter shadowing. This Pluto's tower has already plunged all of Harris Green into long winter shadows, and it hasn't even been built yet!
This is going to CotW on Thursday Nov 26. Staff recommend a few minor changes and then sending it to a public hearing.
