This includes heritage style light standards, street signage, banners and street planters. New development on the Mixed-Use Main Streets should reflect and build on this pedestrian-supportive main street character. transportation network. a) On streets with right-of-way widths less than 30 metres, the minimum width of the boulevard should be 4.8 metres e) Wherever possible, higher-density developments should to provide an appropriate buffer between pedestrian and provide semi-private open spaces, including at-grade vehicular traffic. parks and plazas, as well as rooftop amenity space.

In this case, all efforts should be made to satisfy the general recommendations outlined in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 within the spatial limitations of the boulevard. For general guidelines related to boulevard design, please refer to 3.2.2.
5.2.4 Heritage Context Infill In the Historic Neighbourhood Strategy, the Urban Growth Centre is comprised of three historic neighbourhoods, including Downtown, Brock Park and Allandale. As intensification occurs within the Urban Growth Centre and these neighbourhoods, careful consideration should be given to ensure that new buildings strike a balance between heritage character and creative, context-sensitive architectural design. Building Orientation a) Alterations to existing buildings should match the preestablished set-back of adjacent buildings to ensure a continuous street wall. This is especially beneficial on sites where buildings are currently set back from the street or are missing altogether. b) Where streets lack a continuous building frontage and there is no negative impact on the identified character defining elements of a heritage property, new developments should contain a set-back which reflects an average between those of adjacent buildings. existing heritage building setback a Scale, Height and Massing 90 c) Infill buildings and renovations to existing buildings within the historic neighbourhoods should not mimic adjacent heritage properties, but should have sympathetic scale, massing, and height. d) Heritage buildings should be retained and restored. Retaining the façade is not an acceptable substitute to the retention of the whole structure. e) Heritage properties should generally be limited to their existing height, not including the cornice or parapet, to encourage the retention of these key features. f) On blocks with significant heritage frontages, new buildings should have a height-to-width ratio that is similar to existing buildings.
