2.2 Is the proposed development located within the Town’s Urban Containment Boundary (check with View Royal Planning Dept.)?	Yes		Describe where:
2.3 Does the project provide additional support for alternative transportation use? Check all that apply: [ ] Was a variance granted to provide less parking than required? [ ] Is there on-site bicycle storage? [ ] Are there change rooms? [ ] Is there designated parking for car-share spaces, high-occupancy vehicles (e.g., carpool, vanpool)? [ ] Are there means for alternate transport/ power supplies? [ ] If other, please describe?			Variance has been requested for reduced parking – 27 provided vs 34 required Yes No as this is a residential development No Parking stalls for vehicles and bikes will provide power for EV
2.4 Does the development meet or exceed the Town of View Royal Municipal Guidelines for the retention and cleaning of storm-water?	Yes		Describe: Combination of engineered storage and natural rain garden treatment and storage.
2.5 Have you considered floodplain mitigation or ocean tidal storm surges? How would this be managed?		No	Explain: Project is not in a flood plain, nor is it close to the ocean
2.6 Will site remediation be part of the development process?		No	Explain: Site remediation is not required.
2.7 Mitigation of light pollution (e.g., spill lighting , offsite glare and up lighting avoided)	Yes		Describe: Light pollution will be a mitigated through the use of shielded downlighters for all exterior pole and bollard mounted lights as well as wall mounted lights on the building.
2.8 Will the project provide enhanced waste-diversion facilities such as: on-site recycling or on-site composting?		No	List and describe: No enhanced facilities – waste and recycling collection as prescribed by TOVR and CRD.
3. Environmental Sustainability
3.1 Comment on the inclusion of the following water efficiency techniques: a. Water-efficient-landscaping such as: drought-resistant /native plantings; the use of non-potable, or reclaimed water for irrigation; the use of high efficiency irrigation; the use of rainwater cisterns for irrigation and Xeriscapes? b. Onsite grey-waste-water treatments? c. Indoor water-use-reduction measures (e.g. low consumption fixtures/appliances) that exceed bylaw requirements?			a) List and describe: Landscape plan includes rain garden for stormwater and waterwise drip irrigation. b) List and describe: No Grey Water treatment c) List and describe: Low consumption toilets, faucets, showers, and appliances.
3.2 Comment on the inclusion of any of the following methods to reduce energy use and improve air quality: a. The Energy efficiency ratings of proposed structures and materials used such as: locating buildings to respond to daily sun/shade patterns; high-performance envelopes; passive solar gain; solar shading; natural ventilation; ground heating/cooling; high- efficiency fixtures; consideration of heat-island effects including landscaping, green roofs/walls etc. b. The use of renewable-energy alternatives (e.g. geothermal, solar, off-grid power or water supplies, BC Hydro Green Power).			a) List and describe High performance building envelope, including continuous exterior insulation. Energy Recovery using ERV’s in each suite. LED Lighting throughout b) List and describe No Alternative energy sources
3.3 Comment on the following methods for sustainable-use (and reuse) of building materials and resources: a. The management of construction wastes (e.g. reuse of existing buildings or building materials during construction and/or demolition, having remade or recycled content): b. The use of environmentally-sensitive or recycled construction materials (e.g. high-volume, fly-ash concrete, non-toxic finishing materials): c. The enhanced durability of construction materials (e.g. wall systems, roof materials): d. Is LEEDS, Built Green or other green standards certification being pursued for this project?			a) List and describe: Existing buildings will allow salvage before removal for any material that can be recycled or reused. New building will utilize panelized construction to minimize site waste as well minimize construction time frames. b) List and describe: Fiber cement wall cladding will provide 50 year plus life spans as well as painting systems that will decrease the requirement for repainting. Roofing will be sheet metal and SBS – sheet metal has a 50 year + life span. SBS has a 40 year life span. c) List and describe: No certification system anticipated. d) What level of certification will you achieve? Building will be built in accordance with Built Green BC standards.
3.4 Comment on the inclusion of any strategies to improve indoor environmental quality: a. Improved air quality through low-emitting materials (e.g. paint, carpets) and natural ventilation with windows that open. b. Design attempts to maximize exposure to natural light and passive solar heating/ light (i.e. through building orientation).			a) Ventilation to each suite with fresh outdoor air passed through an ERV unit. LOW VOC finishes and products (paints and coatings, floor finishes, cabinetry etc). Building Flush prior to occupancy, wherein Ventilation system is run full power for a week after completion of trades. b) Large windows, Orientation is such that all windows will see direct sunlight at different time of the year. No windows facing due north.
3.5 Does the street/boulevard layout and design encourage walking and cycling, while also providing for personal and commercial vehicle use?			Describe: Yes, primary pedestrian entrance directly off of Camden Avenue with ramp access to main entrance. Bicycle rooms are above the garage level so that access can be had through the main entrance of the building if desired. Main floor units facing Helmcken also have pedestrian access.
3.6 If new streets or lanes are constructed as part of the development, how are they designed to reduce storm-water runoff?			Describe: No new streets
3.7 If the property is adjacent to existing parking space, open space, paths or trails, is there a visual and pedestrian connection provided? Is it signed and accessible?			List and describe: Connection to municipal side walks to primary entrance and the ground level entry to first floor suites on Helmcken.
