Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7923-0001-00 Planning & Development Report Page 8 Sustainability Considerations  The applicant has met all of the typical sustainable development criteria, as indicated in the Sustainable Development Checklist.  In addition, the applicant has highlighted the following additional sustainable features: o The applicant is proposing a green roof on Level 6. POLICY & BY-LAW CONSIDERATIONS Regional Growth Strategy  The subject property is designated “General Urban” in the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS).  The proposed development complies with the General Urban RGS designation. Official Community Plan Land Use Designation  The subject site is designated “Multiple Residential” in the Official Community Plan (OCP).  The proposed development generally complies with the Multiple Residential OCP designation, but a Text Amendment is proposed to seek a higher density (floor area ratio). Amendment Rationale  The subject property is located within Guildford Town Centre, within close proximity to a Frequent Transit Network (104 Avenue) and within a 315-metre walking distance of existing rapid bus transit service (R1 – King George to Guildford).  In the OCP, the “Multiple Residential” designation allows a maximum gross density of 2.0 FAR for sites located within a FTDA or Urban Centre, that abut a FTN or where specifically allowed in a Secondary Land-Use Plan.  In order to accommodate the development, the applicant proposes a Text Amendment to the OCP to increase the maximum allowable gross density under the “Multiple Residential” land- use designation from 2.0 FAR to 2.5 FAR.  Given the subject site is located within a FTDA, within close proximity to a FTN and within 315 metres of an existing rapid bus stop, a higher density multiple residential development is supported on the subject site. A higher density development will promote walkability, allows for greater housing choice and complies with OCP principles that encourage higher-density development within areas served by FTNs.
