Applicant’s Comments |
|
|
Danny Lung, Lung Design Group Ltd., with the aid of a visual presentation (copy on file, City Clerk’s office), noted that the subject application is for the construction of an additional storefront entry to Unit 100 of an existing building (12211 1st Avenue). The new storefront entry is intended to improve wheelchair accessibility through the inclusion of an interior landing and wheelchair ramp within the unit which is located at the southeast corner of the building. |
|
|
Staff Comments |
|
|
Wayne Craig, Director, Development, noted that (i) the additional storefront entry to Unit 100 will be in keeping with the design of an existing storefront entry to Unit 110, which is located slightly north along the building frontage, (ii) all proposed exterior improvements will be consistent with the existing building materials and colours, and (iii) there is no heritage protection associated with the building; however, a heritage alteration permit is required for the proposed works as the building is located in the Steveston Village Heritage Conservation Area. |
