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.

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
