The PTRs were fully reviewed in concert with the applicant, understood and supported. As for things like Solar Panels, this is something the architects themselves highlighted at Calgary Planning Commission. To suggest it was something unilaterally imposed upon the applicant (not something the City has the ability to do under current policy) is just wrong. The attribution of cost between City and Development with the roadway and sidewalks was at issue when the project collapsed.
