Overview

A one-page City of Richmond Hill map from the Planning & Building Services Department, at 1:45,000, showing where area-specific design studies and guidelines apply. Its legend sorts the areas into infill studies such as Hughey West and Elm Grove, secondary plans (North Leslie, Downtown Local Centre, Richmond Hill Centre), tertiary plans, others — the Village Core Neighbourhood Design Guidelines, Lake Wilcox Special Policy Area, and Barker and Headford Business Park guidelines — and numbered sites with architectural control guidelines. It sits beside the Urban Design Guidelines.
