6. PROJECTS
6.1. Development Permit No: 2019-081-DP
The staff liaison provided a verbal overview of the project. The project team presented details
of the 5 storey rental apartment building project and answered questions from the Advisory
Design Panel members.
R/2020-015
It was moved and seconded
That the following concerns be addressed and digital versions of revised drawings & memo
be submitted to Planning staff; and further that Planning staff forward this on to the Advisory
Design Panel for information:
Architectural Comments:
Consider a more defined main entry by adding some of the more prominent roof design
elements and flanking the double doors with sidelights for better visibility and natural
light into and out of the lobby;
Consider adding adaptable units;
Consider moving the bike racks near stall 42 in the underground parking due to potential
conflict with parked car;
Consider drainage of sloped roof and ensure that it does not conflict with outdoor
amenity directly underneath;
Consider the location and size of the outdoor amenity space with the requirements of the
occupants of the building. The proposed outdoor amenity space location and size does
not seem to be appropriate to facilitate programming of the space to be usable for the
residents of the building given that there is no indoor amenity space. The area selected
does not provide place making for the building;
Provide revised coordinated landscape and architectural drawings including renderings,
elevations, etc.;
Include more surrounding scale to add context to drawing package;
Provide more articulation and materiality to the east and south elevations;
Consider reviewing the size and scale of the proposal with the current and future density
of the neighbourhood;
Landscape Comments:
Provide more soft materials around the building;
Arrange landscape to delineate private and public areas; in particular privacy should be
provided for unit patios to screen from walkways and lobby entrance;
Consider how plant selection, layering and species variety can be used to enhance
landscape character. Avoid single rows and small single species plant beds;
What makes the amenity space a “play space”? Consider adding other elements or
separating the dog area from the play space and social space;
If the linear areas beside the building are required for amenity space add program
elements; and
Ensure adequate soil volumes for all trees on slab.
