Section 6.3 of MRN CP states:
“In building and site design, all commercial development should be compatible with surrounding land uses in height and bulk.”
A three and four story apartment/commercial/district use complex is one third to twice the height of adjacent commercial and retail structures.
Section 11.4 of MRN CP states:
“Long, narrow structures and tall building blocks are inappropriate to the canyon setting.”
