The Community Design Manual we developed for the Town of Penetanguishene directs the design of developments to create a built environment that supports community well-being, while being consistent with the existing character of the community and its vision for the future. The provisions of this Design Manual are unique, in that they:
- Help streamline development review
- Are easily understood
- Allow for alternative compliance
- Are performance based
- Provide assurance to the quality of new developments throughout the community
The Design Manual is a foundation of design direction for all development projects, by ensuring projects are reviewed for:
- Quality of the public realm;
- Human-scale and pedestrian oriented;
- Interconnected and facilitative active lifestyles;
- Sensitive to the natural and built environment; and,
- Support active transportation
