There are no off-site pedestrian connections to the adjacent neighbourhood being considered as part of this application. However, work is continuing on the future Townline Neighbourhood Plan, which addresses among other aspects, connectivity within the broader neighbourhood. Should you have any questions or comments to share on this issue, please feel free to contact our Townline planning team at townline@delta.ca.

The distance from the west wall of the proposed 5-storey building to east side of the railbed would be approximately 18.5m (61 ft).

The amount of outdoor amenity space has been increased from the original application, which included 1,027 m2 (11,055 ft2) of common outdoor amenity space. Currently, 1,809.5 m2 (19,477 ft2) of common outdoor amenity space plus an additional 133.9 m2 (1,441 ft2) of outdoor daycare space are being proposed. The proposed future streetscape along the Scott Road frontage is shown on the landscape plan.

The common outdoor amenities for residents of the development are shown on the landscape plan. Indoor amenities are shown on the architectural drawings (pages 21-22 of the PDF).
Share What is the criteria that has been set out by the City of Delta, the Mayor and Council to determine whether a building will be between 18 or 29 storeys?. So, what criteria is Council going to use to determine how tall a building will be?. For example, what criteria has to be met for a 20 storey tower being approved over a 27 storey tower?.
In the Mayor's Housing Task Force for Scott Road Recommendation their is a vague reference on Page 18 of 43 that states: "Mixed use & residential towers between 18 and 29 storeys when developers provide contributions towards community amenities and neighborhood improvements, with Council retaining authority to determine the best form and type of amenities for an individual project". So, is City of Delta council and the Mayor afforded their own personal judgement to determine whether a 29 storey tower will be approved based on how much of a financial contribution a developer makes towards amenities?. So, the City of Delta is basically asking developers to provide financial payments that allow them to buy approval of a higher tower based on how much money they provide the city towards public amenities. There is no clear articulation in the policy documents you have provided links for that outline the specific criteria that has to be met in order for a developer to receive approval for a higher height tower, there is no specificity just vagueness. This vagueness allows City of Delta to approve towers with no formal process or specific criteria that has to be met by developers and instead leaves it open to Council and the Mayor to interpret what they want.
In the development proposal for this specific tower the developer is proposing only 401 parking spaces whereas, Bylaw requirements state that 435 are needed. Why would you allow such a large development to undercut badly needed parking space, as there will be limit on street parking and people and businesses in the building will most likely need more parking to accommodate the number of residents or customers.
This development is requesting that play area be shared with a day care. Would this not take away an amenity from the residents of the tower during periods of the weekday, thus, hindering the developers commitment to provide play space to residents children living in the building?.
Why are all the outdoor public play areas or amenities for tower residents primarily cement surfaces?. Should not this innovative tower project have some real grass areas or surfaces for residents of the tower to enjoy?.
What is the developers specific proposal with illuminating shared outdoor spaces around the tower building to ensure public safety of the residents of the tower?. The City of Delta has an obligation to ensure that the Townline Neighborhood Plan ensures safety of individuals in the area and ensuring that environmental design elements based on Criminological studies is adopted to prevent individuals from being victims of criminal elements. Studies have shown that well illuminated areas' deter criminal acts and ensures safety of residents.
Also, there will be a Daycare located on the property. Will there be a safe pick up and drop off area for parents to retrieve there children?. on Facebook

Thank you for your interest in the application and for your questions.
Applications are reviewed against applicable City bylaws, regulations and policy objectives, including recommendations from the Mayor’s Housing Task Force for Scott Road and ongoing work on the Townline Neighbourhood Plan. Public feedback is also collected from residents as part of the public consultation process and forms an important part of the overall package of information that is presented to Council. Every proposal is considered independently on its own merits. Council has the discretion to approve or deny an application and may take into consideration any relevant matter when deciding on a rezoning, including the willingness of the applicant to provide benefits to mitigate the impact of their development.
The applicant is seeking a variance to the number of parking spaces and their rationale for the reduction in parking will be considered by Council as part of the proposal. They have provided a traffic and parking study, in support of their proposed parking reduction, that is currently being reviewed by Delta – a final version will be provided on this webpage prior to public hearing. Temporary short term parking on 93A Avenue and visitor parking would be available for the daycare.
The proposal includes 1,809.5 m2 (19,477 ft2) of common outdoor amenity space for building residents on the podium level between the two buildings and on the rooftop of each building. The outdoor daycare space is in addition that number. Although a variance is required for the common outdoor amenity space, the proposed common indoor amenity space exceeds the minimum requirement. The building and landscape designs are being reviewed by staff and are also being referred to the Advisory Design Panel (ADP). The applicant will be asked to respond to staff and the ADP comments before the application can proceed to Council.
Part of the application review includes a look at how the proposal would incorporate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and safety. The application is also being referred to Delta Fire and Police as part of our review process.

Hello and thanks for your questions.
The application is being reviewed in relation to the policies in the North Delta Area Plan, recommendations from the Mayor’s Task Force for Scott Road and ongoing work on the long-term vision for the Townline Neighbourhood. The Mayor’s Task Force has recommended that mixed-use and residential towers between 18-29 storeys can be accommodated when developers provide contributions towards community amenities and neighbourhood improvements. Delta is currently reviewing the applicant’s rental housing proposal.
A traffic impact study has been provided by the applicant and is currently being reviewed by staff. The study would determine the number of trips generated by the development and whether any road improvements to surrounding streets are necessary. Recommendations from the study would be presented to Council when a staff report is prepared for their consideration. Delta is also looking at future improvements to the Scott Road Corridor in conjunction with planning work by Delta, Surrey and TransLink’s on the future Scott Road Rapid Bus route.
