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
