Body

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The applicant has applied for Development Permit to construct a 119-unit multifamily building with a Floor Area Ratio of 1.55. The property (the five former lots have been consolidated into a single lot) is within the Medium Density Residential Proposed Land Use Designation within the Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoned CD-155.

Evaluation of this development permit application should focus on issues respecting the form and character of the development, including landscaping, exterior design and finish of the buildings and other structures in relation to the relevant design guidelines. In addition, evaluation should focus on natural environment protection, energy conservation, greenhouse gas reduction, and water conservation in relation to the relevant development permit area guidelines:

* DPA 1: Natural Environment
* DPA 6: Multi-family Residential
* DPA 7: Energy Conservation & Greenhouse Gas Reduction
* DPA 8: Water Conservation

The application went to APC Design Review Committee (DRC) on March 13, 2024 and the applicant has provided responses and changes to the project for each comment from DRC within Appendix D (overview) and Appendix I (landscape architectural) after also meeting with staff to discuss.

BACKGROUND:

The building is proposed on a site sloping to the south, fronting Tillicum Road and accessed by a panhandle portion of the lot to Lampson Street. The site is adjacent to low density single family and two-family development that is also within the Medium Density land Use Designation.
