(3) Guidelines

(a)

Character of Buildings

All buildings, structures, and expansion or additions thereto
shall be architecturally coordinated and should be planned in a
comprehensive manner, giving consideration to the relationship
between buildings and open areas, efficiency of the circulation
systems, visual impact and design compatibility with the
surrounding developments.

Planning of all buildings subject to Development Permits shall
be made with due consideration to the relation between building
height, site coverage, yard setbacks and in relation te
surrounding properties and streets.

Exterior storage shall be limited to domestic garbage containers
and shall be enclosed by an architecturally-integrated opaque or
translucent screen having a height of not iess than 2.0 metres.

Siting and Accesses

Loading spaces shall not be permitted in front yards.

Access to industrial and business industrial uses from Dominion
Avenue will be discouraged; where access from Dominion Avenue is
unavoidable, turning movements may be restricted.

Parking

Parking will be encouraged to locate in multi-level structures.
Where parking is provided at street level, it shall not be
located within any front yard or sideyard facing a street.

Parking for commercial developments fronting Ottawa Street and
west of Ottawa Street may be located in front yards or side
yards facing a street, provided that adequate landscaping shall
be provided to soften the visual impact of the parking area from
the road.

Landscaping

Parking areas visible from a street, lane or adjacent
residential development should be screened with substantial
landscaping, and interplanting of the parking areas with trees
is required. Retention of mature trees to integrate into the
overall landscaping is encouraged.
