Has COSA evaluated how/if the Alberta designs in the federal Housing Design Catalogue fit into St. Albert's LUB/design guidelines? I'm curious about how these fit in with the infill strategy being developed, and whether we can waive certain development fees to encourage development of known designs. Thanks!
