I seem to recall that the material about 1 Columbia before had a conspicuous absence of mention of ground floor retail. I suspect that the building, and its parking, were approved based on no commercial uses. Adding commercial requires an additional 3 spaces per 100m2, at least according to the old MR-25 zoning.
Of course, it's possible that they couldn't find a tenant without offering a visible parking lot.
The staff response basically says that there's no utilities impact, so it's all good.
