BACKGROUND:

A Rezoning and Development Permit Application has been received for the
construction of a four storey, 36 unit apartment building at 2475 to 2489
Atkins Avenue. The site is presently zoned RS-1 (Large Lot Residential) and
designated for "High Density Apartment" in the OCP. The project is subject to
the design guidelines for the Downtown Development Permit Area.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The proposal is for an apartment building with a floor area ratio of 1.4
and site coverage of 41.5%. A front yard setback of approximately 21 ft. has
been provided along Atkins Avenue for most of the building. A portion of the
second and third storey of the building has a reduced front yard setback of 17
ft. in order to accommodate an architectural feature immediately above the
main entry to the building. Setbacks of approximately 30 ft., 14 ft., and 19
ft. have been provided for the rear yard, exterior sideyard, and interior
sideyard setbacks respectively.

A total of 63 parking spaces to accommodate both residents and visitors is
pcuvided in an underground parking garage. Access to the parking is from a
rear lane. An amenity room for building residents is located on the main

loor of the building with direct access to an outdoor landscaped deck.

The height of the building is 13.1 m. The fourth floor of the building is
recessed in certain areas in order to reduce the volumetric impact of the
building on the street as well as provide opportunities for amenities such as
roof decks.
