Commercial Developments:

Commercial development along Citadel Drive will be encouraged to minimize the
amount and impact of front yard parking by providing appropriate landscaping to
soften the visual impact of parking areas from the road.

Vehicular access to commercial developments shall not be permitted from Citadel
Drive.

Landscaping:

Parking and loading areas visible from streets and adjacent residential buildings
should be screened by substantial landscaping. Interplanting of the parking areas
with trees is required. Retention of mature trees to integrate into the overall
landscaping is encouraged.

All vegetation used for landscaping shall be mature and of a quality acceptable to the
Municipality. All planting must comply with the standards of, or similar to, those
endorsed by the B.C. Society of Landscape Architects (B.C.S.L.A.) and the B.C.
Nursery Trades Association (B.C.N.T.A.), and which are specified in the British
Columbia Landscape Standard (B.C.S.L.A. and B.C.N.T.A., 1984), or as it may be

amended.

All materials, other than vegetation, used for landscaping shall be "non-skid" type
and of durable quality.

All landscaping fronting streets shall use trees where possible.

Signage:

All signs and signage should be architecturally coordinated with the overall design of
buildings and landscaping. Free-standing signs shall be incorporated into the design
of the landscaped areas.

No commercial yard or building shall be illuminated, or contain light sources that
illuminate, adjacent or nearby residential designated properties to an intensity similar
to or higher than the levels of illumination that are created by existing street lights on
the said residential designated properties.

Implementation:

To facilitate implementation of these guidelines, any Development Permit issued for
property within this Development Permit Area II may, subject to the restrictions of
the Municipal Act and unless otherwise specified in the above guidelines, vary or

supplement any provisions of the bylaws regulating zoning, parking, works and
services, drainage, signs, screening, landscaping and subdivision.

Minor variations to an approved Development Permit which do not change the intent
of the guidelines may be permitted without an amendment of the Development
Permit, subject to the approval of the Director of Community Planning.”
