That they require some kind of green initiative/climate consideration on a project of this scale should not be a surprise
Sure, the "what" wasn't determined ahead of time, but how could it be? The planning department isn't involved in the arena's development at all, outside of the permitting processes.
Further to that, if you look back at one of Bunk's posts, he indicates that the City suggested the solar, but didn't mandate it. CSEC voluntarily agreed to it, provided they could address it before occupancy.

Is there any documentation in the public domain that backs this up? I trust Bunk but it's hard to argue this point with non-CPers with what appears to be available information. I just went looking to see if approved development permits are published online and couldn't find them through this tool.
