KEY THEMES

1. Streetscapes, parking layout, and buildings
2. Safety, comfort, and pedestrian focused design
3. Sustainable development
4. Landscaping and bufgering
5. Lighting and signage
6. Servicing and utilities
7. Stacking lanes and queuing

Guideline 6: Design main building entrances that are directly accessible and visible from the sidewalk and the public street. Avoid false entrances

r reverse lotting of buildings adjacent the street.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Guideline 48: Ensure landscaped islands are a minimum width of 3 metres to provide suffjcient soil volume to support vegetation. Provide a minimum of 15 cubic metres of good quality soil per tree. Guideline 50: Incorporate heat island reduction measures, such as tree shading, permeable pavement and high-albedo (light- coloured) materials in accordance with the Town's Thinking Green Development Standards.

Guideline 63: Provide a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs on the site for year- round vegetation, variety and

colour. Ensure vegetation does

not obstruct sight-lines. Guideline 65: Plant coniferous tree species to provide year- round vegetation, screening and bufgering between the site and sensitive uses. Coniferous trees can be used to screen parking, servicing and utilities.

SERVICING AND UTILITIES

Loading facility integrated with building (Brampton)

Guideline 75: Locate loading and garbage facilities at the rear of buildings, away from the street edge, and within the main building wherever possible. Guideline 77: Ensure that utilities are located within enclosed areas, limited or no views from public streets, and are adequately screened by

landscaping. Where feasible, locate utilities underground.

SLIDE 15

STACKING LANES AND QUEUING

Order Box Queuing Lane

Guideline 84: Locate the vehicular access point to the stacking lane of a drive- through facility as deep within the site as possible to prevent queued vehicles from blocking traffjc along public streets or internally within the site. Guideline 86: Design clearly separated stacking lanes to follow a linear format with minimal curves and turning movements.
