Proposed TNI Building

Request for Public Input to a Peer Review Panel

Terms of Reference: Peer Design review of Proposed TNI Building: Assessment of Form and Character - Development Permit

Members of the public are invited to provide input to a “Peer Review Panel” by setting out in writing their opinion on the form and character of the proposed TNI building. The Peer Review Panel will comprise three professionals: one from the UBC Design Centre for Sustainability; a Professional Architect (AIBC); and a Registered Professional Planner (MCIP, RPP). The Terms of Reference for the review process can be viewed at www.peachland.ca and a hard copy will be made available at the District Office for viewing. Having regard for the Sustainable Downtown Peachland Plan (Charrette Report: 2010) and relevant components of the Beach Avenue Neighbourhood Plan, both part of the Official Community Plan (OCP), the Peer Review Panel will:

1. Review functional and physical design components of the concept plans for the proposed TNI building in downtown Peachland;
2. Review written comments solicited from the public on form and character design issues; and,
3. In light of such review, assist the municipality in Development Permit consideration by offering comment on form and character issues and charrette design and Beach Avenue Neighbourhood Plan interpretation.

Members of the public wishing to make a submission to the Peer Review Panel are asked to note that the panel is tasked with offering an independent professional view of the matters at hand, but will consider and reflect on all relevant material submitted by the public.

Submissions must be in the form of written comment and/or illustration and be received at the municipal offices, by 4.00 pm on July 27th 2012, and be addressed to:

Polly Palmer, Corporate Officer, District of Peachland
Director of Corporate Services
