The Commercial Built Form Standards provide clear directions and criteria for the design of commercial space across the City, with the exception of Downtown, which is subject to the Downtown Built Form Standards.
The standards consider opportunities associated with neighbourhood commercial, main street commercial, large commercial sites, mixed use development and vehicle oriented uses, and provide recommendations related to best practices in built form and public realm design. They provide solutions to ensure that new development is compatible with the local context. The standards have also been tested through the creation of demonstration plan concepts.
For additional information, please visit the project’s webpage on the City of Guelph website.
