Intensification Area Urban Design Guidelines - City of Barrie

4.2.4 Servicing and Loading
Where servicing and loading areas are required, they should
not be visually obtrusive.
a) Loading docks and service areas should be located at
the side or rear of buildings and should be screened from
public view.
b) Where possible, garbage storage areas should be
accommodated internally.
c) Servicing enclosures should be constructed of materials
that complement the main building (e.g. no chain link
fencing).
d) Service and refuse areas should be paved with an
impervious surface of asphalt or concrete to minimize the
potential for infiltration of harmful materials.
e) Service and refuse areas should not encroach into the
exterior side or front yard set-back.
f) Loading and service areas may occupy the full rear yard
if adequate landscape edge and buffer treatments are
provided.
Servicing enclosures should be constructed of materials that complement
the main building.
