Documentation verifying the completion of environmental remediation of all lands within this Provision to the satisfaction of the Environmental and Energy Coordination Unit shall be submitted to the Development Officer prior to the issuance of the first Development Permit for any development described in this Provision.
The maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) shall be 1.0 except that the maximum FAR for Professional, Financial and Office Support Services shall be 1.5.
The maximum building Height shall neither exceed 10 m nor 2 1/2 storeys except that the maximum Height for Professional, Financial and Office Support Services shall not exceed 14 m nor 4 storeys. For the purpose of determining Height in this Provision, an architectural feature such as a tower, or a peak which is proposed to reduce the perceived massing of a building or to add architectural interest shall be excluded from the calculation of the Height of the buildings.
A minimum of 14 m building Setback shall be provided from the property lines abutting Fort Road and 66 Street. At the discretion of the Development Officer, this minimum building Setback may be reduced to the minimum applicable landscaped Yard specified in Clause 4(g) where:
the proposed development, or the proposed development in conjunction with any existing development, does not exceed a gross Floor Area of 1 000 m2 or 7m in Height; or
the proposed development lies adjacent to an existing service road;
provided that landscaping and building treatments minimise the perception of massing and create a high standard of building appearance.
For buildings greater than 3 000 m2 in gross Floor Area and with a Height greater than 8 m, the Development Officer may require that the building Setback required in Clause 4(e) be increased to minimise the perceived massing of the building and to ensure a high standard of appearance. The maximum building Setback required by the Development Officer shall not exceed one-half of the length of the building wall located next to the property line from which the Setback is measured.
A landscaped Yard a minimum of 7.5 m in width shall be provided adjacent to those property lines abutting Fort Road and 66 Street. Landscaping in this Yard shall consist of a berm 1.0 m in Height and the planting of five deciduous trees (a minimum of 75 mm in Calliper) and three coniferous trees (a minimum of 3.0 m in Height) and twenty shrubs for every 35 m of lineal Yard, with the plant material being grouped within modules not greater than 25 m in length or 4.5 m in width. At the discretion of the Development Officer, this minimum landscaped Yard may be reduced to 6.0 m where:
the average width of the landscaped Yard is not less than 7.5 m; and
in the opinion of the Development Officer, this Yard width relaxation is required to allow for a more efficient utilisation of the Site and the relaxation will result in an articulation of the Yard width that will enhance the overall appearance of the Site.
There shall be no reduction in the required planting materials due to a reduction in the width of the required Yard.
A landscaped Yard a minimum of 3.0 m in width shall be provided adjacent to the southwest property line. Landscaping in this Yard shall be provided as per Section 55 of the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw.
A landscaped Yard a minimum of 3.0 m in width shall be provided adjacent to those property lines abutting the CNR mainline and the LRT rail line. Landscaping in this Yard shall be provided as per Section of 55 of the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw.
No parking, loading, storage, trash collection, outdoor service or display area shall be permitted within a required Yard. Loading, storage and trash collection areas shall be located to the rear or sides of the principal buildings and shall be screened from view from any adjacent Sites or public roadways. Waste collection siting shall provide opportunities for recycling initiatives.
Parking shall be in accordance with the regulations of Section 54 of the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw.
Signs shall be allowed in this Provision as provided for in Schedule 59F and in accordance with the General Provisions of Section 59.2 of the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw.
