2.3 BUILDINGHEIGHTS
The buildings, which line either side of Broadway Street, between Concession and Bloomer Streets, range in height between 1 and 3 storeys. The majority of these buildings are between 2 and 3 storeys. These are intermixed with several single storey buildings. Through future development, priority should be given to the redevelopment of single storey buildings to 2 or 3 storeys. This will help to intensify Broadway Street, as well as provide greater consistency in the streetwall condition along its length, producing a tighter- knit and more intimate urban environment. Recommendations for future building heights include: • It is recommended that new development along Broadway Street and in the Entrepreneurial District be between 2 to 5 storeys, and that the maximum height be achieved only if the development meets the setback and height recommendation outlined in the guidelines. • Outside of the Central Business District, appropriate building height and massing should be determined in reference to the adjacent context (for low and mid-rise buildings) and through an analysis of any shadow impacts on the surrounding residential areas (for taller apartment buildings). Generally, building heights should be no less than 7 metres, where bungalows are desirable, or 2 storeys. Refer to Appendix C: Urban Structure Mapping for larger versions of all urban structure maps.
Some segments of Broadway Street contain a continuous streetwall condition, while others do not.
