Intensification Area Urban Design Guidelines - City of Barrie

85 Urban Design Guidelines for Barrie’s Intensification Areas - DRAFT
5.1.5 Demonstration Plan: Bayfield Street (south
of Highway 400)
The Bayfield Street (south of Highway 400) Demonstration Plan
illustrates the transition of this area to a mixed-use avenue
that is well connected to the surrounding neighbourhoods
and the YMCA community centre.
Key characteristics of the plan include:
• Proposed intensification within a generally mid-rise built
form.
• Redevelopment generally fronts onto Bayfield Street with
a low to mid-rise building form.

BAYFIELD ST.
• The tallest buildings (up to 9-storeys) are focused at
the Bayfield Street and Highway 400 intersection where
the lots are deepest and development has the smallest
impact on adjacent low-rise residential areas.
• The existing stable, high-quality housing south of Grove
Street is preserved.
• Buildings are set back from the property line to allow for
expanded tree planting within the boulevard.
