PPCMOI – Construction of an integrated residential project totaling 19 units – 130, rue Laval and 121, rue Kent – Hull-Wright electoral district – Steve Moran

Questions, answers, and comments were formulated, concerning among other things:

• It was estimated that the setback of the base could have been more than 400 mm to mitigate the impact of the building's scale on the neighborhood. It was replied that a PIIA (Site Planning and Architectural Integration Program) application had already been approved by the council, so the applicant wished not to make significant changes to the project. The addition of the base was necessary to comply with regulations.
