1. A variety of lot widths and building types will be encouraged
within each neighbourhood.
2.Buildings should be oriented to the street to define the public
space of the streets and achieve a more urban development
character. Residential buildings should generally be set back
4 to 6 meters from the property line. Public and institutional
buildings such as schools and churches may have a greater
setback to create public spaces and courtyards between the
building and street.
3.Garages should not dominate the streetscape. Side and rear
yard garages are encouraged. Front elevation garages should
be sensitively designed to integrate with the building elevation
and mass and avoid or minimize projection beyond the main
front wall. The width of the garage should be proportional to
the width of the house.
4.Buildings and structures located at the termination of a street
and corner buildings should be designed with consideration
to massing, height, architectural detailing and landscaping to
take advantage of the prominent location.
5. Buildings on comer lots should be designed with side elevation
detailing similar to the front elevation. Consideration should
be given to the amount of glazing on the side elevation and
providing side entrances.
6. Buildings terminating vistas should have a special attention
to siting, massing and architectural detailing to create a
visually stimulating landmark structure.
7. Public buildings should occupy prominent sites and receive
special design attention
