Mixed Residential Development Permit Area Design Guidelines

  • West Coast treatment through the arrangement of natural toned cementitious materials, mullioned window treatments, extensively glazed entry doors and windowed garage doors similar to previous phases.
  • Cladding includes horizontal plank and board & batten to provide variety and texture, and some units have stone type accent siding.
  • The blocks are arranged to follow the central driveway, which has been designed to follow the site sloping topography.
  • Building lighting will be dark skies friendly
  • Street lighting will be energy efficient LED.
Page 200–210

Areas to improve alignment with the Development Permit Area design guidelines include:

  • Reducing the amount of lawn by adding more garden beds and trees
  • Consider permeable surface treatment in visitor parking to add visual texture and reduce impervious surfaces.
  • Reconsider roof pitches as they are shallow for the building massing.
  • Recessing the garage doors behind the main building line to accentuate front entrances and incorporating plantings to soften and frame driveways and garage entries.
  • Adjustments to window placement and proportions
  • A perspective or rendering to illustrate the neighbourhood context.
  • Confirming locations of pad mounted transformers
