COMMENTS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS:
Engineering:

1. All services installed at previous development;
2 Development Cost Charges required.

Fire Department
No comments.

Recreation Department:

1. Landscape design to be approved by the Parks and Recreation Department.
2. An adequate amount of open green space in their design.

Building Department:

The Building Department has no comment for rezoning. The applicant should
be made aware that a Building Code analysis of this project by a B.C.
Registered Architect will be required. This may result in some building

modifications.

DISCUSSION:

The floor area ratio and site coverage of the project are well within the
allowable maximum in the zone (0.87 and 42% respectively). Recreation space
per unit exceeds the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw.

Relaxations to the rear yard (from 24.6' to 10'), exterior side yard (from
24.6' to 12') and interior side yard (from 24.6' to 15') setbacks are required
to accommodate the design. The project is also deficient in four parking

spaces.

The proposed building presents a two~storey appearance along Fox Street,
where each unit has individual ground access. The rear portion adjacent to
the existing, three-storey Phase I development would also be three storeys in
height. The terraced style of the proposed building appears to be a good
transition between neighbouring single-family uses and the mixed-use Phase I
development. The impact of the project on the single family property
immediately to the north, however, need to be further assessed. |

[It is recommended that the developers hold a Public Information Meeting to
obtain feedback from area residents and address concerns that they may have.
The applicant is preparing a model and context drawings to permit better
visualization of the impact of the project on the surrounding properties.

As this property is in a Development Permit Area, the applicant would also
be required to apply for and obtain approval for a Development Permit prior to
final approval of the rezoning.
