The proposal seeks the stratum subdivision of a section of The Corso in front The Ivanhoe Hotel. The original DA (in 1996/97) had a condition to enter into a lease agreement for the airspace, and didn’t specify to subdivide the lot. It’s a requirement in their current lease that they need to prepare a plan of subdivision, which they have been slowly complying with following change of ownership. The owners are currently charged a lease fee for the airspace use of public land.
