Yes, a Design Review Committee as suggested by David Premi and Paul Shaker would do the trick. Councillors Collins and Farr were supportive of moving the idea through city hall. I think it's long overdue. Their role wouldn't be to block or stymie development, but to help developers adhere to the urban design guidelines set out by the city and to make their developments as attractive as possible. Sharply designed buildings are proven to sell for higher prices, gain a good reputation and add to the flair of a city. Boring buildings sell for what boring buildings can sell for.

I specifically asked Darko if the new buildings would also be stuccoed like the hotel and he said no - glass and steel. FWIW
