a. 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.

b. 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 of the multi-family residential structure.

3. Guidelines:
a. Character of Buildings:

All buildings, structures, and expansion or addition thereto shall be
architectually 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.

Planning of ali buildings subject to Development Permits shall be
made with due consideration to the relation between building height,
site coverage, yard setbacks, view corridors and in relation to
surrounding properties and stre¢ts. .

Sitin

Notwithstanding any provisions of the "City of Port Coquitlam Zoning
Bylaw, 1987, No. 2240" no multi-family building shall be sited within
7.5 meters of Mary Hill Road or Shaughnessy Street and all yards
facing these streets shall be used exclusively for landscaping and/or
outdoor recreation; except that these setbacks 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 Mary Hill Road or Shaughnessy Street should be achieved from
a side road or a service lane, in consideration of the heavy traffic
of the aforementioned roads.

Landscaping:

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