C.1 Dhaliwal 83 Avenue (Development Permit)
Ben Gardner - Gardner Architecture
Motion of non-support
The Committee recommends that the Applicant:
● Reconsider incorporating massing and stepbacks as envisioned in the Area
Redevelopment Plan to better relate to the street and the neighbourhood.
● Further refine the visually dominant roof overhangs, including architectural
detailing, soffit treatments and / or lighting.
● Further refine the main floor entries and street interfaces and ensure the
submission package clarifies walkway connections and grade changes. The
Committee recommends street accesses to units are functional and incorporate
appropriate transitions (eg. landscaping). In addition, greater architectural
differentiation should be provided between ground floor units and the units
above.
● Consider providing visitor bicycle parking at the main entrance.
● The Committee notes that the minimum landscape requirements have not been
met. The Applicant should consider tree planting along 83 Avenue, as well as
higher quality alternatives to proposed timber planter walls.
● The Committee also noted a number of inaccuracies in the submission, primarily
between plans and elevations, which should be addressed.
