City increases height allowance for six story hotel in The Yard

Oct 15, 2024 | 5:08 PM

An application from an as yet unnamed hotel chain, to allow for a taller building in the highway commercial zoning, was met with unanimous consent by Prince Albert city council during a special meeting on Tuesday.

The business model of the chain relies on having a certain number of rooms and that means having six stories instead of the current four stories allowed.

“Council just approved a height change in constructions of motels from 14 metres to 18, because we’re getting another hotel in The Yard district and this hotel will be six stories,” said Mayor Greg Dionne.

He said the bylaw had not been updated for a number of years.
