A relaxation of building height is being requested as the pbuilding will
have to be raised in order to meet the minimum habitable floor elevations for
floodprcoofing. To reduce the volumetric impact of the buildings, the fourth
storey of the buildings are recessed at the sides. A number of taller
architectural features extend beyond the roof-line to add visual interest and
character to the building elevations. The Planning Department can therefore
support the height relaxation.

The indoor and outdoor recreation areas have been provided in accordance
with the Zoning Bylaw requirements. The number of parking stalls provided
also meets bylaw requirements for the site.

Thig proposal will create an attractive development along a major entrance
into the City of Port Coquitlam. As it generally conforms to Zoning
requirements and design guidelines for the Downtown Development Permit Area,
this proposal can be supported subject to the conditions noted above.
