New Westminster Design Panel

-
Meeting held electronically and open to public attendance
Council Chamber, City Hall

We recognize and respect that New Westminster is on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Halkomelem speaking peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As a City, we are learning and building relationships with the people whose lands we are on.

3.Att 2-Applicant's Architectural and Landscape Submission.pdf

A Development Variance Permit application has been received to develop a new three-storey addition to the existing Queen Elizabeth Elementary School at 921 Salter Street. The proposal includes approximately 2,926 sq. m. (31,495.2 sq. ft.) of new school space and would replace 10 existing on-site portables. In excess of Zoning Bylaw requirements, the development would provide 65 off-street parking stalls, and 10 long-term and 88 short-term bicycle parking spaces. Four pick-up and drop of spaces are proposed alongside a number of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) initiatives. Variances are proposed to building height and various minor vehicle and bicycle parking requirements. It is the City’s practice to require all significant institutional projects participate in a design review process, including review by City staff, engagement with the local Residents’ Association and public open house, and review by the New Westminster Design Panel (NWDP). The purpose of this report is to provide information to the NWDP with regard to the overall project design, and to receive comments from the Panel, with special consideration given to items noted in the Design Considerations section of this report.

  • Recommendation

    THAT the New Westminster Design Panel review the design submission and provide comments for applicant and staff consideration.
