The City of Brampton is refreshing its Urban Design Guidelines! These Guidelines create a framework for promoting development that meets City objectives and encourages a people-centered urban environment.
The new City-Wide Urban Design Guidelines (UDG) will play a key role in achieving the design vision for the different areas of Brampton. Along with the new Zoning By-law, the UDG will shape the policies and regulations of the Brampton Plan. It is one of the frameworks for city-building replacing the 2003 Development Design Guidelines (DDG).
The Guidelines attempt to:
- Detail City expectations for street and block patterns, community focal points, and intersections with natural heritage and public realm;
- Address a full range of development forms and building types, including low-, mid- and high-rise forms as well as mixed development;
- Provide Guidelines for Additional Residential Units, including attached and detached units, the latter of which includes the City’s guidelines for Garden Suites;
- Update guidelines for Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartments, infill development including Custom Homes and Communal Private Amenity Areas; and
Promote and encourage design excellence in public and private development.
