    The applicant hosted an In-person Open House on November 1, 2022, and survey feedback was accepted until November 8, 2022

    A total of eight community members attended the open house and 71 survey responses were received. Survey feedback indicated that 90% of respondents support the project. Feedback was focused on:

    • Support for three-bedroom, family-friendly units in Glenbrooke North;
    • Support for increased density in the neighbourhood;
    • Support for the proposed scale of development; and
    • Mixed feedback regarding the architectural expression of the project.


    Given that feedback was largely positive, the applicant has made only minor revisions to their proposal. These include:

    • Provision of an additional tree along the interior property line, and revisions to proposed tree locations to enhance privacy between properties;
    • Integration of additional planting between the carport and Eighth Avenue, to screen parking from view of the street; and,
    • Integration of traditional materials (i.e., wood) into public facing fencing and carport structures, to reflect material found in the neighbourhood.
