Full RecordingDevelopment Permit No. 2021/10 - 298 Island Highway
Council reviewed the Development Permit for a six-storey mixed-use building, expressing support for allowing commercial use of the public boulevard and working to mitigate liability from overhead architectural encroachments.
"Key discussion points included the request for 60% small car spaces (up from 30%) and aerial encroachments of awnings/features over public land. Council strongly supported enabling the commercial patio use of the wide public boulevard (retail concourse) to enhance urban character. Concerns were raised about architectural features (visors) protruding too far at the corner and potential noise/lighting issues from the rooftop amenity deck affecting Lions Cove residents, prompting the architect to confirm mitigating glass walls and deep planters would be used."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the report dated July 8, 2021 from the Senior Planner titled "Development Permit No. 2021/10 - 298 Island Highway" be received for information."
