- Brampton Plan · Comprehensive Zoning By-law
Chapter A5 of the City of Brampton's City-Wide Urban Design Guidelines, published as its own PDF among the Part A sections on the city's urban design guidelines page. It first lists the terms it refers elsewhere for: definitions in the Brampton Plan glossary, from 15-minute neighbourhoods to sustainability score threshold, and definitions in chapter 2 of the comprehensive zoning by-law such as balcony, deck, driveway and ground floor. It then defines the design vocabulary the guidelines use themselves, from articulated elevation and massing through stable neighbourhoods, streetscape and wind impact.
