Hope this go through, and another empty lot filled. It will also partially hide that YEGly bunker-like apartment due South of here.
I vote like.

@Kaizen Added a poll, thanks for reminding me

Wow, I actually quite like this proposal! It's interesting with the shapes and materials but not too out there.

^ Agreed, the transformation between this and the previous reneders is a very welcomed change. I do like the seeming split between retail and townhouses on the ground level.

Definitely much improved over the original render. I quite like the brighter colour choice on the "wood" (?) coloured panelling.

Is the updated rendering available? Or is the one from the Jan 21st post still the most current one?

@Grandinite That's as current as I know of. Some changes and refinement are likely to have occured for the DP.

Their revised drawings (from Monday) are very similar to the rendering we all saw before, so no worries about the design changing much.

Motion of support with the following conditions:

Permit submission.

@Kaizen Looks like there is already a thread for that development you mentioned a few days ago!

Here's the latest status of their permit:

Major Development Permit

Reference Id: Job No 368879276-002 Description: To construct a 27 Dwelling Multi-Unit Housing building with General Retail Stores in a portion of the main floor, and an underground parkade. Location: 8301 - 99 STREET NW Plan I8 Blk 75 Lots 1-2 Applicant: GARDNER ARCHITECTURE INCORPORATED Status: On Notices Create Date: 2020/07/27 Neighbourhood: STRATHCONA Issue Date: 2021/07/22 Class Of Permit: Class B Notification Start Date: 2021/07/29 Notification End Date: 2021/08/19

The amendments to the original application have already been discussed in this thread, but here's the latest from the city website:

"A planning application (map) has been received for the rezoning of a property at 8301 99 Street NW. The proposed zoning is for a new Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) that is similar to the existing DC2 Provision, but with the following changes:

• Maximum number of dwellings increased from 22 to 29
• Floor Area Ratio increased from 3.0 to 3.2
• Added requirement for a minimum amount of commercial floor area of 90 sq. m
• Minor adjustments to setbacks of the building from lot lines
• Reduction/removal of some stepbacks of building facades.

The maximum building height of 23.0 m has not been changed.

An associated application has also been made to amend the Strathcona Area Redevelopment Plan to remove the requirement for the building to have a stepback above the third storey, and instead use building articulations and colour contrast to reduce the perceived building mass of a six-storey building on this site, and add visual interest to the streetscape.

Proposed West Elevation of New Building"
