4.3.5 Side Building Set-backs<br />

New developments in the <strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s should<br />

maintain as continuous a streetwall as possible, while<br />

respecting the adjacent properties access to natural light<br />

and air. As a result, new buildings should apply a minimum<br />

distance from existing buildings with side windows.<br />

a) Where a new building is adjacent to a vacant lot, buildings<br />

should be built to the side property line (with no windows)<br />

to allow for a continuous streetwall in the future.<br />

b) New buildings must maintain a minimum 5.5 metre<br />

distance from existing adjacent buildings that have<br />

windows on their side-facing walls.<br />

c) When the new building is set back at least 5.5 metres<br />

from the property line, it should incorporate glazing where<br />

possible.<br />

d) Additional set-backs will be required when the existing<br />

building has its primary windows on the side face. The<br />

distance <strong>of</strong> the set-back in these instances will be<br />

determined on a case-by-case basis.<br />
