STUDY PURPOSE

In other words how should the City deal with requests or new development within the built up areas o the City:

What direction should be provided to developers regarding locations or new development.

Guidelines to show what new development should look like.

ESTABLISH A POLICY FRAMEWORK AND SPECIFIC DESIGN GUIDELINES TO ADDRESS LOCAL ISSUES AFFECTING INTENSIFICATION

VISION

New development and revitalization within Key Intensifcation Areas will result in a dense, more urban condition including active,pedestrian-supportive streets that are compatible with, and enhance, adjacent land uses.

These areas will be characterized by wide sidewalks, abundant landscaping, large and mature street trees, street urnishings, public artand active at-grade uses.

PRIORITY DIRECTIONS

The Downtown will be the primary location or intensifcation

Focus in Intensifcation Corridors and other Area on short term opportunities

Built orm compatible with adjacent residential neighbourhoods

Buildings o 4-6 storeys and above 6 storeys permitted where design ensures compatibility with neighbouring properties

Subdivision o large blocks

Diversity o built orm and land uses

Encourage opportunities to integrate open space

INTENSIFICATION AREA

The Urban Growth Centre and the Intensifcation Corridors have been evaluated on a site by site basis to identiy potential intensifcationareas in the short-term prior to 2021, mid-term 2021-2031 and long-term post 2031. For each area with short and mid-termintensifcation potential, consideration was then given to uture potential land use based on:

the existing general nature o the intensifcation area and the uture vision or that area;

immediate surrounding land uses, including proximity to adjacent low density residential development; and,

specifc site attributes including current use, size and confguration.

The proposed designations or each site are identifed on the ollowing maps o the UGC and the Intensifcation Corridors and describedbelow.

1. Urban Growth Centre UGC

UGC Core Area Short and mid term sites within this defned area are identifed. This development would permit mixed use buildings(ground oor commercial uses with residential above), multiple residential uses, commercial uses, ofces uses, institutional (civic andcourthouse and uses related to the university) and a mix o any combination o these uses;

Ofce - The Ofce designation should primarily permit ofce uses including ground oor commercial uses. In addition, this designationwould also permit an option or residential on upper oors;

Mixed Use - The Mixed Use designation would primarily consist o buildings with ground oor commercial which must have residentialon the upper oor(s). However, this designation would also permit the option o ofce uses on the upper oors and buildings which aresolely residential or ofce buildings; and,

The maximum height or development in all designations would be set in accordance with the current Ofcial Plan policy 7.3.2.18(1) (i.e.generally 8 storeys, additional height can be permitted through zoning by-law and studies).

2. All other Intensifcation Corridors

Infll The Infll designation provides opportunities or new single/semi or street townhouses. Infll will also occur outside o theintensifcation corridors. Building heights should be consistent with surrounding development and zoning by-law;

Multiple Residential The Multiple Residential designation would permit the ull range o townhouses (e.g. streets, blocks, stacked,

back to back) and apartment uses. Building heights would be a maximum o 6 storeys with the option or additional height subject tothe submission o appropriate studies;

Mixed Use The Mixed Use designation would primarily consist o buildings with ground oor commercial which must have residentialon the upper oor(s). However, this designation would also permit the option o ofce uses on the upper oors, and buildings which aresolely residential or ofce buildings. Building heights would be a maximum 3 storeys with the option or additional height subject to thesubmission o appropriate studies;

Ofce The Ofce designation should primarily permit ofce uses including ground oor commercial uses. In addition, this designationwould also permit an option or residential on upper oors. Building heights would be a maximum o 4 storeys with the option oradditional height subject to the submission o appropriate studies; and,

Employment based upon defnition in the Growth Plan/PPS.

3. Lynden Road Corridor

In addition to the designations applicable in the other Corridors, in the Lynden Road Corridor the ollowing designation will also apply:

Town Centre - The area surrounding and including Lynden Park Mall is designated Town Centre. This designation would permit a ullrange o retail/commercial uses, multiple residential, ofce, institutional and entertainment uses.

The development o Master Plans are required to enable a detailed analysis o the impact o this new development.

As part o that process the City should adopt new design criteria which reects the historic use within the City while recognizing therequirements o specifc areas identifed or intensifcation and infll.

TRANSPORTATION
