RE: Proposed Text Amendment – St. John’s Development Regulations Battery Hotel Site, Signal Hill Road

I wish to express my concern regarding the proposed text amendment to the St. John’s Development Regulations regarding the Battery Hotel Site on Signal Hill Road. 

Increasing the size of the current Battery Hotel by 3.5 times is completely out of scale and context in a residential neighbourhood. It will become the focal point of Signal Hill when viewed from the rest of the City, and belittle the cultural and historical significance of The Battery, Cabot Tower, and Signal Hill. 

I oppose the process by which St. John’s City Council reviewed this application. This application has ignored and contravenes the St. Johns Development Regulations and the Battery Guideline Regulations and sets a dangerous precedent for future development applications within St. John’s.

I demand that this and all future development applications follow the application process and all applicable regulations and guidelines, without exemption or alteration.
