SITE HISTORY
Silvera, the current owners of this site, began planning the evolution of this larger property in 2014. The vision of a multi-residential campus with both senior-specific and regular market housing was finalized in January 2019 through the approval of the land use bylaw governing the use of this site: Direct Control district 3D2019. In 2020, Spray Group entered into an agreement to purchase the site from Silvera, pending the approval of a development permit. The development permit was released in September 2021 and initial construction work has begun. Spray Group are the landlords of this development.

DETAILED PROPOSALS
DESIGN
• Additional building setbacks with a
16.0 m max building height beside
existing low-density residential
districts
• 20.0 m max building height
immediately abutting Silvera
developments on the west and
Horizon View on the east.
• Building shadowing that aligns with
these diagrams
• Increased green space on-site
through added landscaping features
• Neighbour privacy measures include
tree screening, significant north boundary
setbacks, and reduced building height
along the laneway due to significant grade
change that will help reduce sightlines
into resident backyards
• All building code requirements on the site
will be met or exceeded – the building will be
fully sprinklered, with non-combustible
cladding used throughout
• Pedestrian access to the Silvera site is in
the process of being developed and
coordinated with the neighbours to the west
SAFETY/SECURITY
• Incorporate Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) measures,
such as strategic lighting placement
in designing the site
• The fence between the site and
the north alleyway will be incorporated
to reduce access to and from the site
• Completing this vacant site
with a higher density development
will create more “eyes-on-the-street”,
reducing the chances of social
disorder in the alleyway
• Spray Group values its
properties, and all tenants
are screened and references
checked
CONSTRUCTION DISRUPTION
Minimized by ensuring:
• Noise bylaws are observed
• Traffic will be routed along
45th St, 50th St and 50th
Ave
• Specialized after-hours on-
site security
