(2) Objectives:

The objectives of the Development Permit Area are;

To facilitate the orderly development of the area and to encourage
coordination of the siting, form and volume of new residential
buildings and their area for parking, storage and landscaping.

To control the interface between Multi-family buildings and between
Multi-family and other land uses in the area, by implementing

adequate buffering between the land uses and regulating the
proportions and dimensions of the Multi-Family Residential structures.

Guidelines:
Character of Buildings:

All buildings, structures, and expansion or additions thereto shall
be architecturally coordinated and should be planned in a
comprehensive manner, giving consideration to the relationship
between buildings and open areas, efficiency of the circulation
systems, visual impact and design compatibility with the surrounding

developments.

t

Planning of all buildings subject to Development Permits shall be
made with due consideration to the relation between building height,
site coverage, yard setbacks and in relation to surrounding
properties and streets.

(b) Siting and Accesses:

Notwithstending any provision of the ‘City of Port Coquitlam Zoning
Bylaw, 1987, No. 2240', no multi-family building shall be sited
within 7.5 meters (25 feet) of Shaughnessy Street or Prairie Avenue
and all yards facing these atreets shall be used exclusively for
landscaping and/or outdoor recreation; except that this setback may
be reduced and/or dedicated to an alternate use, when in the opinion
of the municipality a significant improvement to the design is
achieved by doing so.

Where possible, vehicular access to Multi-family developments
fronting Shaughnessy Street should be achieved from a side road or a
rear lane, in consideration of the heavy traffic of the
aforementioned road.

(c) Landscaping:

'

Substantial landscaping to screen parking areas from the streets and
adjacent residential buildings and interplanting of the parking area
with trees is required. Retention of mature trees to integrate into

the overall landscaping is encouraged.
