1.2 STUDYPROCESS&APPLICATION
This document outlines best urban design practices, and includes guidelines that will be implemented through future revisions to the Official Plan and the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-Law. As the best practices outlined in this document become common practice, they will evolve. The examples shown in this document provide one example of how the guidelines can be applied, and are not intended to exclude other solutions that meet their intent.
This document is intended to assist the Town of Tillsonburg as well as land owners, developers and the public with clear tools to guide the design of development and redevelopment in the Central Area. The recommendations in this document address the existing and future character of the built environment, streetscaping, landscaping, and open spaces. They also address the scale and continuity of development, existing heritage elements, the use of materials, and dealing with parking and transportation-related issues.
Tillsonburg’s Entrepreneurial Districts include former and existing industrial uses.
Like much of Southwestern Ontario, Tillsonburg’s Central Area contains an abundance of historic yellow brick buildings.
