The West End Community Plan requires buildings located in Area ‘A’ be restricted at 117.3 metres. Measured from base surface, the north parapet height is limited to 424’-9” (74m) geodetic.

An exception for the height limitation is proposed for the elevator overrun and machine room. This will allow elevator access to the level 42 amenity rooms and exterior terrace.

The following View Cones cross the proposed 1640-1650 Alberni site; B1, C1, 20, and 3.2.1. At a max geodetic elevation of 133 metres, View Cone 20 (view of Capilano valley and the north shore from Granville Street) is the most restrictive. A view shadow within View Cone 20 increases the allowable height of the project. The proposed exception for the elevator overrun and machine room is below this view cone shadow.

777 Cardero is an existing 21 storey residential tower with primary orientation to the east and west. The view from the corner window in the corner units will be impacted mimimally for the first 14 storeys as the profile of the proposed development is only slightly wider than the profile of the existing structure.

1668 Alberni is 14 storeys with primary orientaiton to the north and south. The building elevation facing the project site is absent of windows. Views from the

lane side balconies will be minimally impacted beyond current conditions.

V I E W C O N E S A N D B U I L D I N G H E I G H TA . 1The West End Community Plan requires the height of buildings located in Area ‘A’ of the Georgia Corridor be restricted to below 385 ft (117.3m) above base surface. The project massing is below height restriction with the exception of the elevator overrun. This relaxation of the height requirement is permitted by section 10.11 of the Vancouver Zoning and Development Bylaw. Extending the elevator overrun above the main tower roof allows resident access to the amenity space and terrace on level 42.

View Cone 20 is below the top of the proposed tower, however a number of existing buildings shadow the view allowing an increase in height.

• Shadow A is created by an existing building at 2410-2418 Granville Street

• Shadow B is created by numerous existing towers at the foot of the Burrard bridge.

View Cone 3.2.1 is well above the proposed project massing and does not impact it’s form.
