4.1.2 Lot Size Variety<br />
There are a variety <strong>of</strong> lot sizes and shapes within the<br />
<strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s, including large commercial properties<br />
along Bayfield Street (north <strong>of</strong> HWY 400), small urban<br />
properties in the <strong>Urban</strong> Growth Centre, and residential<br />
properties along Duckworth Street (south <strong>of</strong> Grove Street).<br />
Continuing to provide a variety <strong>of</strong> lot sizes in larger scale<br />
development parcels helps to promote a diversity <strong>of</strong> built<br />
form and use.<br />
a) Lot shapes should be rectilinear where possible to<br />
maximize design and siting potential. Exceptions may be<br />
considered in order to address issues <strong>of</strong> slope, existing<br />
property boundaries or density requirements.<br />
b) Corner lots should be adequately sized so development<br />
within them can abide by set-back requirements on both<br />
streets.<br />
c) Lots adjacent to amenity areas such as community<br />
centres, transit facilities, parks or other natural or urban<br />
destinations should be designed to support higher density<br />
development.<br />
