This appears to be within the HRM_by_Design height limits (49 meters pre-bonus height; and Citadel Hill ramparts-maximum, post-bonus height) and according to the website
"All proposed upgrades align with HRMbyDesign guidelines, while balancing attention to heritage assets and contemporary architecture."
The pre-bonus and post-bonus height maps (maps 4 and 5) are in this document -

So it appears as though this can proceed without a special development agreement. It just has to pass the HRM_by_Design design guidelines. The height doesn't appear to be a problem. The website (
http://www.citadelhotelmakeover.ca/project-qa/) indicates that construction is expected to begin early in 2012 and be complete 18 months later in 2013.
