The Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Railway Association of Canada guidelines on developing land beside a rail corridor, produced through the FCM/RAC Proximity Initiative to replace the 2004 Proximity Guidelines and Best Practices report, and linked from the City of Toronto's application support material. It covers building setbacks, noise mitigation, vibration mitigation, safety barriers, security fencing, stormwater management and drainage, warning clauses and construction issues, and its implementation chapter sets out a model review process for new residential development, infill and conversions in proximity to railway corridors.
