FAIRVIEW SLOPES FM-1 GUIDELINES

Adopted by City Council September 21, 1976 Reaffirmed March 9, 1982 and May 5, 1987 Amended February 4, 1992 10

Application and Intent These guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the FM-1 District Schedule of the Zoning and Development By-law for applications involving conditional approval. The guidelines are intended to assist 10 developers, staff and the community in preparing and assessing proposed development. In March 1982, Council reaffirmed the FM-l zoning and guidelines subject to amendments that may be 21 20 16 necessary for clarification or similar purposes. Council also reaffirmed the development approval process 14 13 subject to the Development Permit Board paying special attention to the public amenity and compatible aspects of new development, including semi-public open space, view corridors and interior amenities. Council noted that any increase over 0.6 floor space ratio should be well earned.

In May 1987, Council again reaffirmed the zoning and guidelines and requested the Director of Planning to inform the Development Permit Board that Council would prefer closer consultation between developers and neighbours, and that greater emphasis should be placed on the importance of views, compatibility and streetscapes in considering applications in Fairview Slopes. Council also requested the Director of Planning to involve the Fairview Slopes Association as early as possible in discussions on development permit applications. Views 22 The height and massing of new developments should respect neighbours' views of False Creek, Downtown and North Shore mountains. Protrusions above the permitted building envelope such as chimneys, roof garden parapets and access, and elevator penthouses should be avoided. Where protrusions are necessary, their impact should be kept to a minimum. Compatibility and Streetscape 19 New developments should be generally limited to 30.5 m frontage in one building so as to respond to the small 17 15 12 11 scale residential character. Where a building exceeds 30.5 m in frontage, view corridors should be provided.

Facades of buildings should present a "broken-up" or non-monolithic appearance to emphasize small-scale character and individual dwelling units or commercial space. Facades should be articulated to give pedestrian- scale appearance.

The visual impacts of parking garages on the street should be minimized. Where garage entries are on the street, solid doors instead of grills should be used. Garbage containers should be at the rear or properly screened. 18
