3 Urban Design Guidelines for Barrie’s Intensification Areas - DRAFT The guidelines outlined in this document may be implemented through future revisions to the City of Barrie Official Plan and Zoning By-laws, as well as action items, that can be implemented pending further study. The design guidelines should not be so prescriptive as to preclude excellent design and development options consistent with the directions of the guidelines. As the recommendations become common practice, they should evolve. It is recommended that the guidelines be reviewed, and amended as necessary, every five years. The illustrative examples shown throughout the document demonstrate one example of how the guidelines can be applied, and are not intended to exclude other standards that meet the intent of the guidelines. 1.4 Document Structure The City of Barrie Intensification Area Urban Design Guidelines are divided into six sections. Section One: Introduction – Provides an introduction to the design guidelines, including an overview of the study and process, and the application of the guidelines. Also includes a brief summary of the existing planning framework and supporting documents that govern development and intensification within the Province and the City (i.e. the Planning Act, the Growth Plan, the City of Barrie Official Plan). Section Two: Evolution of the Intensification Areas – Describes the evolution of the Intensification Areas, including a brief description of the existing conditions, including their general characteristics and key issues; the priority directions from the community consultation; and, the vision for the Intensification Areas, including the key intensification typologies. DRAFT
Section Three: Public Realm Urban Design Guidelines – Provides design guidelines that are applicable to development within the public realm, including natural heritage features, parks and open spaces, streets and streetscapes, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, and parking. Section Four: Private Realm Urban Design Guidelines – Provides guidelines that are applicable to development within the private realm, including the development of large parcels, access and parking, and general building guidelines. Section Five: Area Specific Urban Design Guidelines – Provides guidelines that are specific to the intensification typologies, as well as other unique areas, including Major Transit Station Areas, the historic Allandale Neighbourhood, and Lakeshore Drive. Section Six: Implementation Recommendations – Provides recommendations for a variety of implementation strategies to assist in the adoption of these guidelines. 1.5 Existing Planning Framework The planning framework that guides development and intensification within the City of Barrie and the Intensification Areas consists of policy documents and supporting guiding documents. Broadly, this framework encourages intensification within the Intensification Areas, providing it is compatible with existing development. The documents reviewed as part of this study include: Policy Documents: • Provincial Policy Statement (2005) • Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006) • Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (2009) • The City of Barrie Official Plan (2009) • City of Barrie Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw (2009) Supporting Documents: • Downtown Barrie: The Next Wave (2004) • City of Barrie Downtown Commercial Master Plan (2006) • City of Barrie Intensification Study (2009) • Historic Neighbourhoods Strategy (2010) Please refer to the appendix for a detailed summary of the above-mentioned documents, including their relationship to the Intensification Areas, and their general recommendations regarding intensification.
