Two years after a previous proposal was rejected, council approved a revised version of the project that includes a scaled-down building and more environmental protection
A 55-unit rental project above the Millstone River in Nanaimo has been approved by city council after being rejected two years ago.
The new plan is for a five-storey, 44,681-square-foot building rather than a larger six-storey structure. Parking will be under the building. Coun. Sheryl Armstrong, who had been opposed to the earlier version, also supported the new plan, noting city staff are in favour and the developer has addressed the protection of riparian land — land next to the river — as much as possible. A detailed riparian restoration plan with new plants will be part of the development permit.
