The committee reviewed a proposal for a three-story mixed-use building with 24 residential units and ground-floor commercial space at 585 Antoine-Boucher Road. While the committee expressed concerns regarding asphalt coverage and tree removal, they noted efforts to reduce parking and incorporate permeable paving. The project was recommended for approval, contingent on a minor variance for the main entrance threshold height.

The design aims to respect the local 'matchbox house' (maison allumette) architectural style. The committee provided feedback on building massing, window placement, and facade design, ultimately recommending the project for approval.
