Overview

Brampton's terms of reference for an urban design brief — the document showing how a proposal sits in its local context and carries the city's development design guidelines. Six parts run from site plan and overview, with context mapping of blocks, transit, trails and amenities within 400 and 800 metres; through public and private realm covering active transportation, streetscape, outdoor amenity, parking and service areas; built form with heights, step backs and 3D massing views; sustainability scored against the Sustainable New Communities Program; implementation; and sun/shadow and wind studies.
