Replace 5.4.c with:

Weather protection in the form of a canopy, with a minimum depth of 1.5 m, or other architectural element shall be provided to create a comfortable pedestrian environment and moderate the impacts of weather particularly in the winter as required based on wind study information.

Replace 5.4.e with:

The front facades of the building commercial uses shall be designed to break the appearance into 6 m to 12 m sections or modules consistently sized with other buildings on the shopping street through a combination of recesses, projections, change in building materials, colors, and/or a physical breaks in building to the satisfaction of the Development Officer.

Replace 6.1.c with:

6.1.c The Podium, above the first storey, shall take the form of public art which is integrated as part of the building design. The public art will take the form of an illuminated colored glass art wall designed by a professional firm that includes some combination of an artist, architect, graphic designer and/or glass specialists. The art wall will provide colour and light throughout all seasons, similar in nature to the built form examples in Appendix VII. Through design techniques such as varied colours, patterns, or lighting, the glass art wall will create an interesting façade for the public realm and enliven Jasper Avenue and 114 Street, as conceptually shown in Appendices II, III, IV, VI and VII. The design of the portion of the parkade located within the Podium shall be enclosed within solid (a material not permeable to light) walls to ensure vehicles within the parkade structure are not visible. The colored glass art wall will be installed in front of this parkade wall. An illumination plan for the art wall, which will have the sole purpose of ensuring that the art wall illumination does not create a nuisance effect for surrounding neighbours, will be provided to the satisfaction of the Development Officer prior to the issuance of a development permit for new building construction.

i. A minimum of $150,000 shall be directed towards the design and construction of the illuminated coloured glass art wall.

ii. Prior to the issuance of a Development Permit an art plan shall be submitted to the City of Edmonton for review and approval by the Development Officer.

iii. Upon completion of the building, the Owner shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Development Officer, that the public art described in the public art plan submitted at the time of Development Permit application is located as specified.

iv. If a development application has not been made within five (5) years of the date of passage of this Bylaw, the Public Art contribution shall be increased from that point forward according to the annual rate of national inflation as determined by Statistics Canada.
