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 />
