b.
where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the centre of

follow such lines, and in the event of change in such edge or shorelines, it shall be
deemed as moving with the same;
g.
where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as being parallel to or as an extension of
features noted above, it shall be so construed;
h.
where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following a topographic
contour line or a top of bank line, it shall be deemed to follow such line, and in the event
of change in such line, it shall be deemed as moving with that line;

roadway shall be deemed to be the Zone boundary.

Height and Grade
Bylaw 17062
July 9, 2015
1.
The Development Officer shall calculate building Height by determining the roof type, and applying the following:
a.
For hip and gable roof types Height shall be determined by measuring from the horizontal plane through Grade to the midpoint of the highest
roof. The midpoint is determined to be between the end of the eave (intersection of the fascia board and the top of the roof sheathing, or less, in
accordance with Section 44), and the top of the roof; or
b.
For the flat roof type, Height shall be determined by measuring from the horizontal plane through Grade to the midpoint of the highest parapet, provided
the resulting top of the parapet is no more than 0.4 metres above the maximum Height allowed in the zone or overlay; or
c.
For mansard and gambrel roof types, Height shall be determined by measuring from the horizontal plane through Grade to the midpoint of the highest
roof. The midpoint is determined to be between the deck line and the top of the roof; or
434
435
d.
For all other roof types, including saddle, dome, dual-pitch, shed, butterfly or combination roofs, the Development Officer shall determine Height by
applying one of the previous three types that is most appropriate for balancing the development rights and the land use impact on adjacent properties.
2.
In determining whether a development conforms to the maximum Height permissible in any Zone, the following regulations shall apply:
Bylaw 17934
April 10, 2017

a.
in any Zone other than a Residential Zone, the following features shall not be considered for the purpose of Height determination: chimney
stacks, either free-standing or roof mounted, steeples, belfries, domes, or spires, monuments, elevator housings, roof stairways, entrances,
water or other tanks, ventilating equipment, skylights, fire walls, plumbing stacks, receiving or transmitting structures, masts, flag poles,
clearance markers, Solar Collectors, or other similar erections.
b.
in any Residential Zone, those features specified in subsection 52.2(a) shall not be considered for the purpose of Height determination, except
that the maximum Height of receiving or transmitting structures, where these are Satellite Signal Receiving Antennae or Amateur Radio
Antennae and Support Structures, shall be calculated in accordance with the regulations of subsections 50.5 and 50.6, respectively, of this Bylaw.
The maximum Height for all other receiving or transmitting structures, other than those which may normally be required for adequate local
television reception, shall be the maximum Height in the Zone, and not the maximum Height for Accessory buildings in Residential Zones
specified in subsection 50.3(2);

Where the maximum Height as determined by Section 52.1 is measured to the midpoint, the ridge line of the roof shall not extend more than 1.7
m above the maximum permitted building Height of the Zone or overlay, or in the case of a Garden Suite the maximum permitted building Height
in accordance with Section 87 of this Bylaw.
3.
An applicant shall submit, for any Development Permit to construct, rebuild or increase the Height of a structure, a grading plan that shows the
elevation of the Site at each corner of the Site before and after construction;
Bylaw 18115
July 10, 2017
Effective Date: September 1, 2017
4.
The Development Officer shall determine Grade by selecting, from the methods listed below, the method that best ensures compatibility with
surrounding development:
a.
if the applicant can show by reference to reliable topographical maps that the elevation of the Site varies by no more than one meter in 30 lineal
meters, the Development Officer may determine Grade by calculating the average of the highest and lowest elevation on the Site;
b.
the Development Officer may determine Grade by calculating the average of the elevation at the corners of the Site prior to construction as
shown on the applicant's grading plan;
c.
the Development Officer may determine Grade by calculating the average elevation of the corners of the buildings on all properties Abutting the
Site or separated from the Site by a Lane;
d.
for a Site where the highest geodetic elevation at a corner of the front property line is greater than the lowest geodetic elevation at a corner of
the rear property line by 2.0 m or more, the Development Officer may determine Grade by calculating the average elevation of the front corners
of the Lot, and along the side property lines a distance equal to the minimum front Setback in the underlying Zone from the front property line.
This method is intended for small scale development with a single Principal building and is not intended to be used for Multi-unit Project
Developments;
e.
for a Garden Suite, the Development Officer may determine Grade by calculating the average of the elevation of the corners at the Rear Lot Line
prior to construction as shown on the applicant's Site Plan; or
436
f.
the Development Officer may use his variance power to determine Grade by a method other than the ones described in subsection 52.4. If so,
this shall be a Class B Discretionary Development.
5.
The applicant shall submit all information the Development Officer requires to determine Grade by the method the Development Officer chooses.

Development Regulations
1.
All development on a Site shall be constructed using similar architectural themes. An
exception may be made to this general requirement where the function of an individual
business dictates a specific style or image associated with a company. In such cases, the
development shall maintain harmony in terms of overall project design and appearance.
821
2.
All mechanical equipment, including roof mechanical units, shall be concealed by screening in
a manner compatible with the architectural character of the building or shall be concealed by
incorporating it within the building roof.
3.
Any business premises or multiple occupancy building having a Floor Area greater than
3 000 m2 or a single wall length greater than 40.0 m that is visible from an adjacent Arterial
Road or Major Arterial Road shall comply with the following development regulations:
a.
the roof line and building façade shall include design elements that reduce the perceived
mass of the building and add architectural interest;
b.
the exterior wall finishing materials shall be predominantly composed of muted colours,
with strong colours limited to use as an accent, so as to minimize the perceived mass of
the building; and
c.
Landscaping adjacent to exterior walls visible from an adjacent Arterial Road or Major
Arterial Road shall be used to minimize the perceived mass of the building and to create
visual interest.
Bylaw 15735
June 20, 2011
4.
A minimum building Setback of 14.0 m shall be provided adjacent to the Major Arterial Roads
and the intersecting Arterial Roads within the Major Commercial Corridors. The Development
Officer may use variance power to reduce this building Setback to the minimum applicable
width of the Setback required by this Overlay where:
a.
the proposed development or the proposed development in conjunction with any existing
development, does not exceed a Floor Area of 1 000 m2, nor 7.0 m in Height; or
b.
the proposed development lies adjacent to an existing service road;
provided that the Landscaping and building treatments minimize the perception of massing
and create a high standard of building appearance.
5.
For buildings greater than 3 000 m2 in Floor Area and with a Height greater than 8.0 m, the
Development Officer shall require that the building Setbacks required in subsection 813.4(4),
above be increased to minimize the perceived mass 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. For the purpose of determining Height in this
subsection, an architectural feature, such as a tower or peak, which is proposed to reduce the
perceived mass of the building or to add architectural interest, as required by
subsection 813.4(3)(a), above, shall be excluded from the calculation of the Height of the
building.
Bylaw 15735
June 20, 2011
6. a) Setbacks with a minimum Width of 7.5 m shall be provided adjacent to Major Arterial
Roads within the Major Commercial Corridors and adjacent Arterial Roads that directly
intersect such Major Arterial Roads. However, the Development Officer may use variance
power to reduce this Setback requirement to a minimum Width of 4.5 m, provided that:
i.
the average Width of the Setback is not less than 6.0 m; and
ii.
this Setback width relaxation is required to allow for a more efficient utilization of the
Site and the relaxation shall result in an articulation of the Setback width that shall
enhance the overall appearance of the Site.
Bylaw 17672
June 27, 2016
b) within the Setback areas specified above, a minimum of five deciduous trees (with a
minimum Caliper of 6 cm), three coniferous trees (with a minimum Height of 3.0 m),
and 20 shrubs shall be required for each 35.0 m of lineal Yard Frontage. A continuous
822
screen, an average of 0.75 m in Height, shall be provided within the required Setback,
through a combination of berming and shrub planting.
Bylaw 15735
June 20, 2011
7. a) Where:
i.
the proposed development, or the proposed development in conjunction with any
existing development, does not exceed a Floor Area of 1 000 m2 nor 7.0 m in Height;
and
ii.
the architectural treatment of the building façades, as well as the juxtaposition of the
buildings on the Site minimizes the perceived massing of the development when
viewed from the adjacent arterial roads,
The Development Officer may use variance power to reduce the minimum Setback
Width specified in subsection 813.4(6) above to 4.5 m or to the minimum Setback Width
specified in the underlying Zone, whichever is greater, adjacent to those Arterial Roads
that directly intersect the Major Arterial Roads. This Setback Width of 4.5 m may be
further reduced to that specified by the underlying Zone, for that portion of the Site
beyond a distance of 15.0 m from the adjacent intersecting Major Arterial Roads.
b) The berming provision specified by subsection 813.4(6) above shall not be required in
this reduced Setback area; however, the planning treatment specified by
subsection 813.4(6) shall apply.

An application for a new development or for an addition to existing building(s) shall be
accompanied by a Site plan that shows the location of easement area(s) for all existing and
proposed servicing infrastructure on the Site. The Development Officer, in consultation with
the affected utility departments, shall require that the minimum building Setbacks and the
minimum Width of Setbacks specified in this Overlay, be varied where such adjustments may
be necessary to ensure:
a.
that proposed buildings do not conflict with existing or proposed servicing infrastructure;
and
b.
that the type, amount and location of Landscaping, including berms, can be provided in a
manner that does not conflict with existing or proposed servicing infrastructure.
9.
Conceptual Landscape Plans shall be submitted, with the initial Development Permit
Application, for review by the Development Officer. Prior to the issuance of the Development

shall be located and designed in a manner that provides a clearly defined, safe, efficient and
convenient circulation pattern for both on-site and off-site vehicular traffic and pedestrian
movements, including handicapped movements. Loading bays shall be located in such a
manner as not to impede the safe and efficient flow of traffic and pedestrian movement and
to minimize impacts on adjacent land Uses.
11.
Adjoining Sites shall be integrated by direct on-site access connections to facilitate
convenient, efficient and free flowing vehicular traffic and pedestrian movements between
Sites, wherever such access is not prohibitive due to such factors as Grade, Site
configurations and the location of existing development, including utility services, and where
integration is desirable due to the existing or potential type of adjacent Use. The Development
Officer shall waive this requirement if the applicant for the Development Permit can show that
after reasonable effort, exercised over a period of no less than 60 days, the applicant has
823
been unable to obtain the required consent from the adjacent property owner(s) for
integration and inter-site connections.
12.
All on-site services for power, telephone and C.A.T.V. shall be underground. Underground
power services shall also be provided for Signs requiring such services.
13.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Zoning Bylaw, individual business identification
signs located on the facades of buildings, shall be similar in proportion, construction materials
and placement. The Sign shall be designed and located so as to ensure that the signage does
not detract from the overall appearance of the development and is not obtrusive, having
regard to the scale of the buildings on the Site and to the distance of the building Setback.
14.
Gas Bars, Minor and Major Service Stations and Rapid Drive-through Vehicle Services shall be
developed in accordance with the following additional criteria: in addition to the requirements
of Section 72, any canopy located over the gas pump islands shall be designed and finished in
a manner consistent with the design and finishing of the principal building, such that the
canopy is not obtrusive and maintains consistency with the eave line of the principal building.

ii.
Brick shall be used as the predominant cladding material (more than 50% of the
exterior cladding excluding windows and entrances) within the first 5 Storeys or 20.0
m of a new building.
Explanatory Note
Brick is a high quality building material that creates a range of texture and pattern that
helps add architectural interest to a building. Different configurations of brick work are
employed to add unique character to buildings. The following graphic representations
provide possible conceptual applications of this regulation for interpretive purposes.
iii.
The architectural treatment of the building up to the first 5 Storeys or 20.0 m shall
adhere to the general alignment of the horizontal elements and vertical elements of
the adjacent buildings along the same block face.
Explanatory Note
Horizontal and vertical building elements combine to create rhythm to the street and
interest in the built form. The following graphic representations provide possible
conceptual applications of this regulation for interpretive purposes.
903
iv.

i.
Large format buildings should be located at the perimeter of this commercial precinct,
specifically adjacent to 170 Street and Anthony Henday Drive, and oriented or grouped
to frame views, constructed amenities, public streets, or entrance corridors, where
practical. Variable building setbacks, and the placement and design of the rear façade
of structures should minimize long expanses of walls, a monotonous appearance or
exposed service areas.
ii.
Unless part of a larger complex or mixed Use development, small format or single Use
sites should be oriented toward the primary interior access roads and designed to
complement adjacent developments to maintain (or establish) a clear building edge.
Parking will typically be in the interior of the block or behind the buildings. If designed
as a shopping street or multi-bay unit, some parallel or angled parking may be allowed
in front of the commercial building.
iii.
Building orientation at the intersection of access streets along the south edge of the
commercial precinct shall be arranged to frame the corner of the intersection to create
a "r;sense of place", using building design, decorative architectural wall, landscaping
and other focal points and site amenities, and arrival into the commercial centre.
