"This project involves a four-unit apartment building in a suburban area."
"The site is a narrow, irregularly shaped, and almost triangular lot flanked by two roads intersecting at an acute angle. The northern road is a legally recognized road under the Building Standards Act, while the southern path is a culvert, so the road setback regulations only apply to the northern road."
A four-unit apartment building occupies a narrow, irregular, almost triangular suburban lot. Two roads flank the site and intersect at an acute angle, creating a constrained and asymmetrical footprint. The northern road is legally recognized under the Building Standards Act and therefore triggers road setback regulations that affect building placement and massing. The southern adjacent path functions as a culvert and is not subject to setback rules, resulting in uneven regulatory conditions along the site edges. The contrasting legal statuses of the adjacent ways require design strategies that reconcile setback requirements with efficient use of the irregular lot.
