Summary
On December 16, 2013 City Council directed staff to undertake a study of Bayview Avenue between Highway 401 and Lawrence Avenue East "to review the appropriate development framework for the lots abutting Bayview Avenue". This report provides Council with information on the Guiding Principles developed through meetings with the community and other stakeholders and outlines draft guidelines for townhouse developments fronting along this stretch of Bayview Avenue. The Guiding Principles and draft guidelines are intended to inform the review of proposed townhouse developments along this part of Bayview Avenue ensuring that new development fits with the unique character of the area.
