Parking, Loading and Circulation Regulations

Resident parking shall be provided by on-street, underground or stacked parking facilities, or a combination thereof.

An internal private street may be created within the site to provide on-street parking.

The internal private street shall:

1. (a) contain on-street parking along both sides of the street;
2. (b) have marked pedestrian crossings that are located in a manner that provides continuous pedestrian connectivity of sidewalks and to primary building entrances;
3. (c) include a minimum 1.2 m wide sidewalk along the entirety of both sides;
4. (d) include a minimum 1.2 m wide landscaped area abutting the entirety of all sidewalks;
5. (e) locate required benches, trash receptacles, bicycle parking, and lighting within the landscaped area; and
6. (f) locate all signage outside the required 1.2 m sidewalk.

The layout of parking areas shall address the interrelation of pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle circulation to provide continuous, direct pedestrian access with driveway and drive aisle crossings. Remedial treatments such as raised pedestrian crossings, forecourts and landings, special paving, light or bollards shall be provided where a pedestrian is expected to cross a driveway or drive aisle.

Surface parking areas shall be located at the rear of buildings or interior of sites.

Despite section 10.2(8), where enhanced landscaping is provided adjacent to a public road, a portion of surface parking may be located along Wye Road, Mitchell Street or Range Road 232.

Parking, loading and passenger drop-off areas shall be easily accessible and designed to minimize pedestrian-vehicle conflicts.

A well-defined pedestrian walkway shall be provided from an area south of the site shown on the MU2 site plan and extend north to Wye Road. This pedestrian walkway shall be a minimum width of 3.0 m and be an independent walkway within the site or incorporated into an internal private street or building sidewalk to the satisfaction of the development officer.

Loading and garbage collection areas shall be located at the rear or sides of the principal building and shall be screened from view from any adjacent properties and from any road.

Additional Development Regulations

Vehicle-oriented uses shall be located a minimum of 30.0 m from the principal entrance of a building where a residential use is located.

Outdoor storage areas shall not be permitted.

Design Standards

Complementary and consistent signage and wayfinding materials shall be incorporated into site design to ensure clear and identifiable connections throughout the site and connecting sites.

Sidewalks internal to the site shall have a minimum width of 1.2m.

Awnings, porticos, eaves, unenclosed balconies, shade protection, and similar architectural features may project up to 1.2 m into the minimum building setback.

Mechanical equipment on the roof of any building shall be incorporated into the roof or all sides screened in a manner that is consistent with the character and finish of the building.

Horizontal stretches of uninterrupted facade shall not exceed 12.0 m in length.

All building facades shall include design elements, materials, and articulation that reduces the perceived mass of the building facade and adds architectural interest. Blank walls are not permitted on any facade of a building.

Mixed-use commercial/residential buildings shall:

1. (a) create the appearance of regularly spaced frontages, and
2. (b) include storefront windows.

Accessory buildings and structures shall conform to the architectural design and finish of the principal building.
