City Administrator

Director of Community Planning

Rezoning Application No. 32/86
2340 and 2348 Atkins

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council direct the Clerk's Office
to prepare a bylaw rezoning Lot 8, Lots 19,
2Q and 21 of DL 289 Pian 2138 NWLD from
RS-1 to RM-4,

COMMENTS:

This application is to develop an apartment building in the
Shaughnessy Corridor area. This application is in the area
designated Phase | Apartment in the Official Community Plan,

Kelly Avenue north to Wilson Avenue.

Design of the building proposa! utilizes a sunken entry area
and parking level. By using this approach the builder has not
had to go to the expense of constructing underground parking.
Benefits of this design approach, are that the building is not
so expensive that it can not be constructed and that it
provides a greater feeling of security for residents than
underground parking.

Exterior design of the building uses a number of corners and
different heights to break up the facade. Unifying elements
tying the building together are two vertical columns on either
side of the entrance. An interesting feature of this building
is that it does not have interior corridors with suites on both
sides. In this building the corridor is along the liane side of
the building, all suites face Atkins Avenue.

In conclusion, approval of this application is recommended.
