   a
8.1.Prior to the issuance of a Development Permit for any buildings greater than 25.0 in Height, a qualitative wind impact study (computational fluid dynamics study)must be submitted for review. The development must incorporate design features to minimize adverse microclimatic effects such as wind tunneling, snow drifting, rain sheeting both on and off Site, consistent with the recommendations of the study. 
8.2.A Sun Shadow Study must be submitted with the Development Permit application for any new development with a proposed Height over 25.0 m in accordance with Section 7.140 of the Zoning Bylaw.
