That the application 2018-243-RZ be supported and the following concerns be addressed as
the design develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
Architectural Comments:
Consider increasing the height of windows on the south elevation to increase the
benefit of the south exposure;
Consider adding horizontal elements to the north and south façades to give human
scale;
Provide up to date coordinated landscape and architectural drawings;
Consider the proportions of the upper roof pop-ups
Landscape Comments:
Consider adding columnar trees as a vertical element to compliment architecture on
street frontages;
Review circulation pattern and provide a hierarchy of space to reduce unnecessary hard
surfacing in landscape areas;
Evaluate the function of the building entrances through landscape material to
differentiate between public space, entrances and private space;
Ensure coordination between arborist and landscape architect for retention of the
existing hedge and trees;
Review the depth of soil available for proposed landscape over slab and over the storm
water tank;
Consider permeable paving;
Consider providing additional usable space or elements for children’s play;
Review additional native plant material;
Consider adding a trellis with planting over the parkade ramp;
Consider removing the central walkway from 220th Street to provide space for
additional plantings;
Consider enhancing the north sidewalk from 220th street to internal sidewalk to
improve wayfinding;
CARRIED
N. Miri reminded staff that all plans that are submitted to the Advisory Design Panel must be
