DISCUSSION s

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
pec 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.

t

The proposed building presents a two-storey appearance along Fox Street,
where each unit has individua: 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 Fhase 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 addresa concerne 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. y
