At Ambassador Motor Inn, we understand that our project must have invoked certain concerns in the community. As a responsible authority, we ensure that we have ascertained all the possible concerns and have introduced measures to eliminate them. Read along to know more.

Shadow studies establish that shadowing from a 20 storey tower at the south limit of the site is not worse than a 6 storey structure at the northern limits of the site; in fact, a low slab tower of 12 stories (assuming the same density) blocks off more light and sun penetration.
The suggested height limits can be used to determine the capacity or potential density of the site, then redistribute this density through varying heights of structures to create visual interest.
Taller structures with a smaller footprint allow for more light and sun penetration.

The bulk of the required parking will be underground; this is primarily a residential requirement.
Retail and office parking will mostly be surface parking within site and some underground, as required.
Retail is street-oriented and pedestrian-oriented – local residents walking to the shops will reduce parking requirements.
Anticipated retail is small scale (1000 m2 / 11,000 sq.ft. maximum).
There should be no necessity for street parking.

Access to the development is from 16th avenue service road or Moncton Road.
There is no need to access from 17th avenue.
Excess traffic will be directed into the site, not around it; this property is on the edge of the community.
5
The bulk of parking is provided underground.
Surface parking is within the development with access from 16th avenue service road or Moncton Road.
Traffic generated will not spill onto 17th avenue.
Frontages of existing houses can be classified as designated parking for residents (tow-away zone).
6
Proposed retail will be along the street frontage facing 16th avenue and partially along Moncton Road.
There will not be retail on the north half of the property, keeping potential noise away from existing residences north of 17th avenue.
