Development Permit DP 03-238031

APPLICANT:

James Lam

PROPERTY LOCATION:

8777 Odlin Road

INTENT OF PERMIT:

To permit a 2,620 m (28,200 ft), one-storey-with-mezzanine light industry/retail trade and services building on a site zoned Comprehensive Development District (CD/55).

Applicants Comments

Mr. Gen Yada, Architect, stated that the end result of the design process met the needs and requirements of both the owner and staff.  Issues for which clarification was needed were access to the site, parking, retention of trees, placement and design of the building.  He advised that this prominent site which was surrounded by commercial buildings and a temple, had frontages along Garden City Road, Odlin Road and Odlin Crescent.  Access to the site was from Odlin Road, since no vehicular access was allowed from Garden City Road.  The building itself was a 1 storey development enhanced by the use of color and broken up by design elements, a mezzanine would be used for office space.  Glazing was used on the faade along the Garden City frontage, loading would be on the far side of the site at the Odlin Crescent frontage. 100 parking places would be provided, and two oak trees as well as four Douglas firs would be retained.

Mr. Fred Yue, Landscape Architect, advised that plant material would consist of evergreens and deciduous shrubs, and interlocking permeable pavers would be used to provide adequate drainage.

In response to a query from the Panel, Mr. Yue advised that the single-family residential homes would be buffered by existing magnolia trees and Douglas firs, a grass boulevard, and other medium sized trees and shrubs which would be planted by the applicant.
