DISCUSSION:

Approval of this application will permit the development of an apartment
pbuilding within the Downtown Apartment Area. The design of the building is
compatible with proposed or recently puilt projects in the Downtown Area, and
conforms to the design guidelines outlined in the Official Community Plan.

The front yard and exterior side yard setbacks have been reduced in
accordance with the Downtown Development Permit Area guidelines. The interior
side yard setback conforms to bylaw requirements. A relaxation of the rear
yard setback (from the required 25 ft. to 20 ft.) is being requested in order

to accommodate the building design.

An indoor recreation area is provided on the main floor of the building
‘th direct accesg to two:ground level outdoor recreation areas available for

uge by the residents. Both types of recreation areas have been provided in
accordance with the Zoning Bylaw requirements.

The height of the proposed building will vary from approximately 44 ft. to
47 £t. at various points around the building, measured from the natural
grade. As this exceeds the permitted height limit of 39 ft. for RMN-4 zoning,
a relaxation is required. In this area, the building has to be raised in
order to meet the minimum habitable floor elevations for flood-proofing
purposes. In order to reduce the impact of raising the building, the fourth -
. floor has been stepped back and recessed on all sides. The Planning — | .
Department can therefore support the request for a height relaxation. ce
