Zoning is discretionary, it's a back and forth discussion. Much is 'volunteered'.

You could be right. Certainly some of the DTES projects are starting to demolish old hotels, but you're correct, others are keeping the facades. The Cobalt appears to have been patched up at some point in the past, so it'll be tricky to support it securely while they dig the parade (assuming there will be one).
