Recommendation
That additional height be approved for an addition to the 22nd floor of the Westin
Hotel such that the new top of parapet height will be +131.400 m above sea level,
with top of associated stair roof parapet at +134.100 m, be approved in principle
subject to a more detailed plan, and:
• That NCC staff continue to work with the Westin to refine the design of the
addition in order to bring it forward for final federal approval
• That the Westin engage NCC review and approval on any future revision to their
exterior building signage
• That the Westin work with lessees of existing and future rooftop equipment to
mitigate visual impact on the core of the National Capital
• That the final design will require approval by the NCC Board of Directors.
• That the NCC will notify the City of Ottawa that it does not object to the Official
Plan Zoning By-law amendment, but requests that the zoning be issued with a
Holding Provision under the Planning Act of Ontario which requires the final
approval of the NCC Board of Directors.
