OTTAWA—A controversial addition to the historic Chateau Laurier was approved Wednesday, but Ottawa’s city council will meet again Thursday to vote on it one more time. The Chateau Laurier itself was a throwback to a much earlier French style when it was built. The opponents of the development argued the design did not meet the requirements set last year, though city staff say it has. Immediately after the vote, an opposing city councillor requested the it be reconsidered, and Watson scheduled a new vote for Thursday afternoon. The likely decision Thursday will hold off legal action from Larco Investments, the company that owns Chateau Laurier.
