Notes

  • Ground-floor use area capped at 465.0 m² generally (s.1276); Restaurant public area 300.0 m².
  • As a riverfront district, buildings must not be located within 35.0 m of the top of the Bow River's south bank, with a limited Outdoor Café exception (s.1224). This cannot be checked from parcel geometry alone; verify against the river's actual location on site.
  • Minimum 30% of the parcel must be a landscaped area and 5.0 m² amenity space per unit apply district-wide (Part 12, Division 1, s.1229/1232).
