This is a ridiculous proposal. Build this on a flood plain? Condo owners are going to have to spend a fortune when the building sinks and cracks.

And fyi all the renderings are the same just different angles.

Discussed above, this one is indeed within the regulatory floodplain:

Looking at the drawings, I note:
- No residential on the ground or second floors, that's clearly a flood mitigation strategy.
- They do have some underground parking though (as well as above grade)
-- I don't know what Hamilton's CA allows, in Toronto it would be nearly impossible to get this built today by TRCA regulation.
Placement of new build relative to established grade:

Spectator articleThis article from Hamilton Spectator provides some of the feedback from the application review.

Fascinating, this has gotten this far w/o geomorphology, without a current topographical survey, mapping flood risk and a host of other things that would normally be done at the very beginning of a proposal like this. If this gets through, it seems likely that it will be materially altered.

I agree, not sure how they have got this far. I understand developers are at the stage of requesting change in zoning. The public is not very well informed either. I believe there was a list of about 13 studies the developers needed to do but the Public is not privy to the results apparently.
Can I ask what the CA stands for for? I'm sure it's not chartered accountant lol

You can, and in this context, its Conservation Authority.
They will be chief arbiters on flood and erosion risks.
