The application proposes a compact built form on a site that is appropriate for further intensification, within a built-up area, that would take advantage of existing infrastructure, provide new institutional student housing, and contribute to the vitality of the campus and surrounding area. It would advance policy objectives to create complete communities, provide a range of housing in terms of size, scale and type, provide employment opportunities, and ensure a form of development that makes efficient use of land while limiting impacts on the character and function of the surrounding area and enhancing the public realm.
