107 Urban Design Guidelines for Barrie’s Intensification Areas - DRAFT 5.7 Historic Allandale Neighbourhood Guidelines The historic Allandale neighbourhood warrants special consideration due to its rich history. As opportunities for intensification occur within the Allandale neighbourhood, new development should provide a careful balance between Mixed-Use Main Streets on Tiffin Street and Essa Road, and Established Residential Neighbourhoods throughout the remainder of the community. DRAFT
The historic Allandale neighbourhood is located within the Urban Growth Centre. Due to it’s rich history however, particularly in relation to the rail industry, and the existing stable heritage neighbourhood, it warrants special consideration. As opportunities for intensification occur within the Allandale neighbourhood, new development should provide a careful balance between Mixed-Use Main Streets on Essa Road, and Established Neighbourhood Streets throughout the remainder of the community. The historic Allandale neighbourhood is loosely bounded by Essa Road, Gowan Street and Burton Avenue. The streets within the neighbourhood include Arterial Roads (i.e. Burton Avenue, Essa Road), Minor Collectors (i.e. Gowan Street) and Local Roads (i.e. Cumberland Street) with planned right-ofway widths that range between 20-30 metres. Currently, the historic Allandale neighbourhood can be predominantly described as a Corridor Residential District (please refer to Section 2.2.2.). With the exception of Essa Road, streets within the Allandale neighbourhood are lined with stable residential neighbourhoods that generally consist of single and semi-detached dwellings. The dwellings in the Allandale neighbourhood are typically set back from the property line, with well-landscaped frontyards. Large, mature trees both within private front-yards, and along the boulevards result in a dense and consistent urban tree canopy throughout the neighbourhood. All of the streets contain narrow sidewalks on one or both sides of the street. On-street parking is permitted on both sides of many streets, slowing traffic and providing a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. 108 On Essa Road development reflects an Auto-Oriented Commercial District, as described previously (please refer to Section 2.2.1). These areas will have the greatest opportunities for intensification in the historic Allandale neighbourhood, through infill of large surface lots, and the redevelopment of underutilized parcels. They should evolve into Mixed-Use Main Streets that reflect the conditions proposed throughout the Urban Growth Centre, including a tight-knit fabric of midrise, mixed-use buildings that transition appropriately to the remainder of the Allandale neighbourhood. In the remainder of the Allandale neighbourhood, there is limited potential for intensification. However, if larger-scale sites become available for redevelopment, opportunities exist for the incorporation of higher density residential buildings (i.e. townhouses and walk-up apartments), and potentially mixeduse buildings with convenience retail at-grade. Any such use should reinforce these areas as Established Neighbourhood Streets through buildings that are compatible with, and transition to, adjacent stable residential neighbourhoods. For guidelines that apply to intensification on Essa Road, please refer to Sections 3.0, 4.0 and 5.1. DRAFT For guidelines that apply to intensification within the remainder of the historic Allandale neighbourhood, please refer to Sections 3.0, 4.0 and 5.3.
