The proposed building ts a small, four tot, infill
development. The building contains a total of 4 suites per
floor. This low density unit count is due to the market in
which the building is to be sold, condominiums.

From a community plan point of view, this building fits in
with the plan designation of this area as being the first area
for apartment development. Likewise, as the building is next
decor to a large apartment development, it Is an extension of
growth rather than being a "teap frog" of development into a
single family house area... It Is for this reason, fitting the
Community Pian objectives for apartment development, that
support for this application is being proposed.

Architectually, the building reflects materials used on
surrounding buildings, Orchard Valtey and the Buttjes
apartment proposa! north of Wilson Avenue. As the building
has picked. up on materials and cotors of the surrounding
buildings it should fit in. The building Is not
architectually dramatic and will not draw attention to itself.

In conclusion, approval of this apartment proposal Is
recommended. The basis for this recommendation is the
apartments ‘compliance with Community Plan objectives for the
Shaughnessy corridor, Wilson Avenue neighbourhood. The
proposed apartment building fits In with surrounding apartment
bulidings In terms of finishing materials, height and building
