19. New – Tamsin’s boards The District of North Vancouver adopted a detailed package of Design Guidelines in 2011. They are found on line and are part of Schedule B of the OCP. Recognizing the value of this existing package, staff are supplementing it with more details that will be relevant to Lower Capilano.

20. Building Heights: Village Centre Heights stepping down from International Plaza to Fullerton. Woodcroft International Plaza

21. New – Tamsin’s boards How do Design Guidelines Work? At the application stage, when a developer submits drawings for review, the staff team compares the designs against municipal bylaws and Design Guidelines. Design Guidelines are divided into: Public Realm, Site Planning and Building Form. • 2. Site Planning: • Is the building a neighbourly design? Does the building overshadow its neighbours? • Does the building take advantage of the sun orientation? • Is the grading at street level appropriate? • Building Form: • Is the choice of materials right for the area? • Is the building well articulated? • Is their outdoor space for residents to enjoy (balconies and roof decks) • 1. Public Realm: • Does the project relate well to the street? • Is the sidewalk wide enough? • Is there weather protection? • Does the building wrap the corner? Some of you may recognize this building in Port Moody that we visited on the bus tour…

22. Key ideas that came out of the October work include: • An interest in making the Village of Lower Capilano distinct from Marine Drive with its own character. • Support for celebrating the Capilano River, and history of First Nations Fisheries was echoed in the Public Art discussions, the Street Naming discussions and in the open house work on potential themes. • Building material responses showed a strong preference for buildings that used natural accents

23. Public Plaza pages 1 and 2 – add the following benches Water as a unifying feature
