5.1 PLANNING CONCEPT

The general form of development is intended to comply with the intent of theexisting ODP with the exception of a proposal for an overheight landmark buildingat the north end adjacent to Science World and the relocation of affordablehousing. The general massing and public realm elements and interfacesconform to the following principles:

Buildings along the east side of Quebec Street increase in height to the north toward City Gate (off site).

Buildings along the south basin side of False Creek (off site, such as The Village) descend toward the water.

Buildings along the park (on site) are proposed to descend towards the water containing the park and bookending the companion buildings to the west.

Buildings along the west side of Quebec Street (on site) are intended to serve as transition buildings between these two opposing formal objectives, with the exception of the landmark structure to the north. With its prominent

exposure to False Creek and the Seawall it is intended to stand out from the crowd and present a unique and interesting feature to the area.

A rising streetwall form is intended to contain the busy Quebec Street edge and buffer the inner sanctum of the neighbourhood.

East/west and north/south linkages are to be optimized most specifically for pedestrian, bicycle and light rail movements.

A narrow intimate laneway is intended to serve as the main pedestrian oriented circulation system at the heart of the project. Vehicular and pedestrian interaction is intended to be ambiguous and have a natural traffic calming effect.

Important nodes are to be developed at the Seawall/Greenway intersection and the park/Switchmen Street interface.

Beautiful garden courtyards are intended to bring public and private visual interest to the laneway and park.

A feature artifact plaza with the potential for sunny open-air food and beverage vending forms a key focus to the intersection at Quebec and First.

Raised residential terraces with individual entrances are intended to provide eyes on the street along street and park frontages.
