W. 10th Ave. The proposed building is of concrete construction which qualifies for consideration of a height relaxation. The applicant has also submitted a view analysis, in support of the height relaxation, which shows that the views from the adjacent single-family residences are not impacted by this proposed development.
Staff support some of the relaxations but recommend design changes to reduce the proposed height.
Staff are therefore recommending that the residential FSR be reduced to 2.40, which accepts only the additional residential density as described above. Given the generally good quality of the design and based on the foregoing, the Director of Planning is therefore inclined to support this application. However, before making a decision, this application is being referred to Council for advice. The site is located in the midblock on the south side of 10th Avenue between Tolmie Street to the west and Sasamat Street to the east. The site and surrounding zoning are shown on the attached Appendix 'A'.
