In his presentation, Architect Nitin Malhotra pointed out that the Tru By model of hotels is one of Hilton’s newest brands.
The committee called for a staff report which will come back to the next meeting.
Two residents in the area raised objections to the development.
One of them, Doug Leadbeater who lives in the area, said the residential properties were “unique” since there are only five in the area.
Leadbeater noted that the addition of 46 vehicles moving in and out of the rezoned property would have an impact on the neighbourhood.
He pointed to garbage which he says is already migrating from the college to the residential area.
Committee member Paul Jennings declared a conflict and did not participate in the discussion.
A staff report will come back to the committee at its next meeting.
