3.1.2 Setbacks&Stepbacks
Front Property Setbacks • Within the Main Street Area, the existing front facade and associated storefront should be retained. • Within all other character areas, additions to the front of the building should ensure that prevailing setbacks, established by neighbouring properties, are retained. Front Property Stepbacks • Within the Main Street Area, vertical additions, built above the established streetwall height of 2 to 3 storeys (7.5 to 10.5 metres), should step back a minimum of 3 metres from the established streetwall. This is important in order to limit the visual impact on the streetscape. Side Property Setbacks • Within the Main Street Area, additions should maintain a continuous streetwall. • Within all other character areas, additions should ensure that prevailing side property setbacks, established by neighbouring properties, are retained.
Rear Property Setbacks • Within all character areas, additions should ensure that prevailing rear property setbacks, established by neighbouring properties, are retained.
