Review and approval of development permit modifications, including landscaping, cladding, and public art integration.
The Richmond Development Permit Panel reviewed three development projects. The first involved modifications to Development Permit 17-772227 at 11671 Cambie Road, addressing changes made during construction, including landscaping adjustments and cladding changes. The panel approved the changes with conditions, including extending landscape security holdback to two years due to concerns about speed bump maintenance. The second project, Development Permit 23-025993 at 4831 Steveston Highway, focused on adding public art to the building’s facades. The panel supported the addition of murals, noting their positive impact on the area and the building operator’s commitment to maintenance. The third project, Development Permit 23-029220 at 8120 and 8140 No. 1 Road, involved the construction of nine townhouse units. The panel approved the project, noting its attention to detail and site integration, with minor variations to zoning bylaws.
