This week at Harbourside: week ending February 8

Addressing issues raised by advisory bodies
This week the team met internally to work on responses to comments from various City advisory bodies they met with last month. Some of these include:
  • Widening of view corridors.
  • Exploring further storm water management solutions.
  • Clarifying the phasing of commercial space.
  • Working with neighbouring tenants to improve ambient lighting.
  • Clarifying public realm enhancements.
  • Encouraging Concert to work with City staff to finalize the Spirit Trail connection between Harbourside and Lonsdale Quay.
Meetings are scheduled for next week with three of the advisory bodies to address these comments.


Revisions to DPA guidelines
The team completed the second draft of the Development Permit Area (DPA) guidelines document this week. These guidelines control the form and character of a development in addition to regulating the look and feel of the surrounding public realm.

The second draft has now been circulated to both City staff and advisory bodies for their review prior to finalization. Once finalized, the document will be submitted to City Council for consideration.
