Thanks again @Nosirrah for being the insider!

To be honest, I actually don't mind the way it looks for this scale. I hope that they could maybe add a little more variation in the shape or even just the materials on that big grey wall, though.

Motion of support with conditions
The Committee recommends the following:
● Revisiting the interface of the ground floor units with the streetscape. Consider
design strategies which create a more appropriate semi-public transition (ie.
raised patios / stoops) and encourage the use of patio areas by residents. The
Committee notes that the Grandin 2 project to the east employs such strategies.
● Giving more consideration to the north site boundary and the interface (ie.
proposed fencing) with the existing adjacent development.
● Revisiting the interior courtyard and the interface / integration with the alley,
loading and waste collection area, parkade entrance, amenity space and patios of
adjacent ground floor units. The Applicant is encouraged to explore locating the
waste collection area within the building (or enclosed structure) to improve the
experience of users in the interior courtyard.
● Giving more consideration to the current (and future) architectural character of
this corridor, and in particular, its form and grain.
● Ensuring the above concerns are captured in more specific design regulations
within the Direct Control provision - both text and drawing appendices.
In addition, the Committee notes that this project demonstrates the need for
Administration to develop strategies for corridors within mature neighbourhoods
(including 100 Avenue) in order to guide thoughtful urban design decision making.

I actually quite like how they swapped out the high for the low rise. It''ll be good for the area to have a low rise built after the year 1986.
