Overview

A City of Richmond Hill design guide, dated December 2024, on ground-floor retail in new mixed-use developments, written for architects, planners, the development industry and City staff. It gives design guidance on retail layout, including floor-to-floor height and unit depth and width, visibility, entrances and access, storefront design, signage, lighting, and the interface with the public streetscape. It is one of the City's Urban Design page guides, beside those on above-grade structured parking and pedestrian mews.
