Side Property Setbacks • Within the Main Street Area, new buildings and additions to contemporary buildings should be built to the side property lines for no less than 2 storeys (7.5 metres). • Within all other character areas, new buildings and additions to contemporary buildings should ensure that prevailing side property setbacks, established by neighbouring properties, are retained. Side Property Stepbacks • Within the Main Street Area, the portion of the building above the streetwall may step back from the side property lines to provide side walls incorporating windows. Required side stepbacks should be a minimum of 5.5 metres from the property line to allow for sufficient glazing. • Within the Main Street Area, where a more porous streetwall is desirable, side property stepbacks are encouraged above the minimum building height of 2 storeys (7.5 metres). Unless adjacent existing developments contain windows above the established streetwall height which face onto the side property line, buildings do not require upper storey side yard stepbacks. Rear Property Setbacks • Within all character areas, new buildings and additions to contemporary buildings should ensure that prevailing rear property setbacks, established by neighbouring properties, are retained.
Buildings on corner sites should address the corner condition, giving prominence to the intersection, while addressing both frontages.
