91 <strong>Urban</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> for <strong>Barrie</strong>’s <strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s - DRAFT<br />
Building Articulation and Detailing<br />
g) New buildings within the historic neighbourhoods should<br />
not mimic adjacent heritage properties, but should have<br />
sympathetic window alignment, ro<strong>of</strong>-lines, entrance<br />
location, ground floor treatment and materials.<br />
h) The original façade materials on buildings within the<br />
historic neighbourhoods should not be changed or covered.<br />
Façade renovation should be in keeping with the original<br />
building articulation, using those elements that are intact<br />
and replacing those that are missing or damaged (i.e.<br />
columns, cornices, openings, windows, doors, etc.).<br />
i) Wherever possible, existing windows and doors should be<br />
restored and made energy efficient. Their replacement<br />
should be seen as a last resort.<br />

j) Buildings should not be altered through embellishment<br />
or other decorative means against their initial stylistic<br />
intent.<br />
k) Additions or renovations in the historic neighbourhoods<br />
should reintegrate key aspects <strong>of</strong> heritage design that<br />
have been lost through degradation or previous renovation.<br />
l) In the historic neighbourhoods, storefront design should<br />
maintain a heritage rhythm and character through<br />
recessed entries and large bay windows.<br />
