Schedule 1 - Development Permit AreasMcGill Corridorj) The Urban Design Concept Plan identifies two major gateway nodes and one minorgateway node along the McGill Corridor. Corner buildings at these intersections shouldbe designed as landmark corner buildings to identify their strategic location within theUrban Design Concept Plan. Landmark corner buildings should:• consist of a dominant form that can be carried along the street;• occupy a significant terminus of view;• consider all street frontages equally and provide equal quality of design,orientation, and detail;• respond to intersection focal points and pedestrian orientation with cornersetbacks (4.5 m), building articulation, and landscape treatment; and• should incorporate peaks, gables, turrets, clock towers, and other distinctivearchitectural features to emphasize that these intersections act as gateways orfocal points to the university and to the adjacent technology park areas.• should incorporate peaks, gables, turrets, clock towers, and other distinctivearchitectural features to emphasize that these intersections act as gateways orfocal points to the university and to the adjacent technology park areas.k) Buildings shall provide ground floor retail or office uses accessible at grade along the"Main Street" portion of McGill Road between Summit Drive and HillsideDrive/University Drive.(5-1-2416) l) Buildings having a minimum height of three storeys shall be encouraged. There is amaximum height of 12 storeys on Thompson Rivers University lands within theDevelopment Permit area.Vehicle and Pedestrian CirculationThe urban design concept accommodates vehicular traffic in rear yards and encourages thedevelopment of "Main Street" as a visually pleasing pedestrian environment.a) Forecourts, landscaped islands, and patios are encouraged for commercial and publicpurposes to enhance the streetscape for pedestrians.b) Provide a continuous 3 m wide sidewalk between curb line and the principal facade ofthe building, designed to complement and enrich the pedestrian character, amenities,and commercial activity along the "Main Street" segment of McGill Road.c) In the "Main Street" segment of McGill Road, no parking or circulation roadways shallbe provided between the principal facade and McGill Road. Parking shall be located atthe rear of the buildings and will be accessed by internal circulation or maneuveringaisles. A continuous major circulation aisle shall be provided at the rear of thebuildings to facilitate on-site circulation in the "Main Street" segment of McGill Road.Reciprocal parking agreements may be required between adjoining lots to betterfacilitate on-site circulation.d) Parking areas will be landscaped with planted islands a minimum of 2 m in width. Theplanted islands will separate major circulation aisles from parking access aisles.e) Entrances to buildings will be located to maximize pedestrian safety, particularly inrelation to crossing McGill Road.170T:\DES\PLAN & DEV\KAMPLAN\KAMPLAN Combined Dec 2013.docx December 19, 2013
