Why has the children’s play area been located on the lane when a space either in the courtyard, or the rooftops, would receive more light, and be more secure?

The applicant did consider both the courtyard as well as the roof decks for the children's outdoor play area, but decided on its proposed location as being the most appropriate. There will be natural light in this area throughout a good portion of the day (varies depending on the time of year), and it will be properly secured with perimeter fencing. Further, the applicant notes that they have a row of townhomes fronting onto the play area which will offer appropriate direct and implied surveillance when (and if) parents are distracted from viewing/supervising their children.
The applicant did consider the courtyard that exists between the buildings, but became concerned about the escalated noise in that area reverberating off both sides of the building which would affect both the future residents of the building as well as the surrounding neighbours. The rooftops were also considered, but the applicant felt that the children's play area is more appropriately located at grade for safety and associated safety perception issues.

Given there isn't a need to protect Cambie Street from shadows, why are the upper floors of the building’s west side setback?

This site falls within Section 4.5.2 “Cambie Street: 59th-64th Avenue” of the Cambie Corridor Plan. Under this section of the Plan, it is envisioned that buildings along Cambie Street contain step backs above 4 storeys in order to reduce the overall building massing and diminish shadowing on Cambie Street to enhance the overall pedestrian experience.
