Under the new rules, the Walper hotel and the American block should both be torn down, along with pretty much all of downtown, due either to being too tall, or setback being too little.
Tall building guidelines would not apply to any of these structures as they are not tall buildings. Up to 8 floors is mid-rise, not tall building - and aside from all that, this development is not subject to those guidelines as they are not going to be in place for several years to come.
