1 Urban Design Guidelines for Barrie’s Intensification Areas - DRAFT 1.1 Study Overview Places to Grow: The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006) directs all new growth in the Province to key Intensification Areas, including Intensification Corridors, Urban Growth Centres, and Major Transit Station Areas. The City of Barrie and Brook McIlroy have prepared these urban design guidelines to help direct new development within the Intensification Areas identified in the City of Barrie Official Plan. The guidelines present a vision for the Intensification Areas, and a set of priority directions, to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing built fabric, creates an attractive and safe pedestrian realm, supports alternative modes of transportation (i.e. walking, cycling and transit), and is environmentally sustainable. This initiative is an important step towards achieving the Province and the City’s long-term vision for high quality growth. To implement the recommendations of these guidelines, policy and zoning amendments will be required, and tools provided through the Planning Act should be applied (please refer to Section 6). 1.2 Study Process Recognizing the common characteristics between the Intensification Areas, a typology was developed to distinguish between the three predominant types of built form, including: • Auto-Oriented Commercial Districts, such as Bayfield Street (north of Highway 400), Dunlop Street (at Miller Drive), Essa Road (at Mapleview Drive), and Yonge Street (at Little Avenue). • Core Districts, such as Collier Street, and Dunlop Street East). • Corridor Residential Districts, such as Duckworth Street (south of Grove Street), Essa Road, and Dunlop Street (east of Anne Street). Please refer to Section 2.2 for a detailed description of the existing conditions that define each of these typologies. DRAFT
1.2.1 Intensification Typologies Each of these Intensification Areas was examined in detail, through site visits and consultation with the City, local stakeholders, and the community, to examine their characteristics and role in the urban structure and to identify opportunities for intensification and urbanization. As intensification occurs, the Auto-Oriented Commercial Districts, Core Districts, and Corridor Residential Districts should evolve into more pedestrian-supportive streets and blocks, described throughout this document as: • Mixed-Use and Residential Avenues, including Bayfield Street, Dunlop Street, Essa Road, and Yonge Street. • Mixed-Use Main Streets, including streets within the Urban Growth Centre. • Established Residential Streets, including Duckworth Street, Dunlop Street (east of Highway 400), and the historic Allandale neighbourhood. Together, these typologies comprise the Intensification Nodes and Corridors, the Urban Growth Centre, and the Major Transit Station Areas as identified in the City of Barrie Official Plan. Demonstration sites were prepared based on best practices to show how intensification could occur on existing sites in each of these typologies. 1.3 Application of the Guidelines The recommendations of this study apply to the Intensification Areas outlined in the City of Barrie Official Plan, including the Urban Growth Centre, Intensification Corridors, and Major Transit Stations Areas. The document is intended to assist City Planning Staff, land owners, developers and the public with clear tools to guide intensification on private land, as well as public infrastructure, such as utilities, pump houses, hydro substations, fire halls, arenas, and other public buildings and structures. The guidelines apply to development applications that are submitted following the adoption of the guidelines. Where applications are in process at the time the guidelines are adopted, the City should work with the developer to determine if the directions of the guidelines can be met. Those using the guidelines should locate their site within the Intensification Typologies outlined on Page 22, and refer to the respective section of the document. In addition, general Public Realm Urban Design Guidelines and Private Realm Urban Design Guidelines are provided. These guidelines apply to all projects within the Intensification Areas. Developments within the Intensification Nodes are guided by the Intensification Typology in which they are located, as well as the additional guidelines provided in Section 5.4. DRAFT Users should reference all sections that are relevant to their application. 2
