Under your rules that couldn't happen, correct?

Complete demolition would not be allowed such as the Armour group is threatening to do with the remaining buildings at Waterside. Also renovations could include incorporating the facade in new developments but the Waterside proposal would not qualify because it would involve completely demolishing the Imperial Oil Building and then rebuilding to a lesser architectural detail. For example the copper dentil roof detail would be lost. The Harrington building that is now completely exposed due to the demolition of the wooden part of Sweet Basil is a perfect example of what wouldn't qualify for gutting and leaving the facade. The building fronts on Hollis and Upper Water St. and has a completely intact ironstone wall that mirrors the Morse's Tea building and should remain intact.
