R/2021-024 It was moved and seconded That the Advisory Design Panel has reviewed application No. 2019-392-RZ and recommends 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: • Reconsider commercial component; OCP suggest multi-family residential. Proposed parking at rear is awkward and compromises potential for green space; • Renderings are not consistent with coloured elevations. Please coordinate all plans; • Generally the site is over built. Livability is compromised. Consider a larger courtyard and or removing units at the south to create a U-shaped building. Over shadowing will be a concern.; • Over heating will be of a concern on the south and west elevations. Consider greater overhangs and or solar shading device; • Consider locating the indoor amenity room with direct access to the outdoor amenity. mapleridge.ca Advisory Design Panel Minutes May 12, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Landscape Comments: • Provide a coordinated Landscape submission. Submission needs to be consistent with the Architect Plan; • Provide more pedestrian circulation and access to the courtyard. Strongly suggest to include gates from adjacent residential units; • In conjunction with the reconsideration of the commercial space consider where additional green space could be added to enhance livability and complement the courtyard; and That the coordinated resubmission must incorporate comments from the April 21, 2021 and May 12, 2021 Advisory Design Panel meeting.
