Therefore, to achieve our vision for the site with a financially viable project, we require the variances listed below. 1. INCREASE IN DENISTY FOR TOWNHOMES: From 22 units to 29 units 2. TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT ALLOWANCE FROM 9m : To allow 3-storey Townhome style units with roof decks with measured heights above grade from 8.4m to 11.4m. - The cross-sloping nature of the site makes height measurements from average grades difficult to make consistent. We are essentially proposing a 3-storey building instead of a 6-storey building, but the bylaw structure defines townhome style buildings differently than apartments. 3. TO REDUCE THE INTERNAL PRIVATE MANUVERING AISLE: From 6.7m (22 ft) to 5.8m (19 ft) - The Architects will provide turning templates to demonstrate this aisle width is functional and working to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning ### Proposed Development Illustration (Townhome-style) Source pages: 28–42 ## Proposed Development Illustration (Townhome-style) [Image 8: Proposed development illustration — townhome-style massing] [Image 9: Proposed development illustration — site layout/units] ### Zoning and Proposed (Townhome-style) - ZONING: RCBM-2, BASED ON TOWNHOME STYLE BUILDING - AREA E1 UNIT DENSITY ALLOCATIONS: 500 Units - 2089 CHAMPIONS UNIT DENSITY ALLOCATION: 150 Units | Item | Existing / Max | Proposed | |---|---:|---| | MAX UNITS / AREA | 1 unit per 280s.m.
