Growth & Development Framework
The Growth and Development Framework helps guide ongoing decisions that impact the physical environment of Downtown West in a coordinated and strategic manner. In addition to supporting the BIA in its mandate, the Growth and Development Framework also provides benchmarks and standards for developers and sets priorities for investments in the public realm. The Framework is intended to assist the City and developers by identifying priorities for investment in the area during the planning process for new development projects, as well as public realm and infrastructure improvements.
Application Process
The Development Review Checklist is an aid to assist in the evaluation of the benefits inherent in a proposed development. The criteria listed is not meant to replicate the City’s own criteria when reviewing applications; rather, the area of interest is on a proposed development’s potential to contribute to the Framework’s Key Areas of Focus: the pedestrian realm and open space, streetscapes, and uses at grade. As such, the checklist focuses on the ground level and lower floors of the subject development as well as its relationship to the surrounding context.
