Livable By Design Manual
The urban design manual sets the framework for desirable and compatible development that fits in with its surroundings, maintains and enhances the character of an area and promotes a more human approach to development.
The Livable by Design Manual is made up of three distinct components:
Part A - Urban Design Direction for Oakville
A comprehensive set of guiding design principles and urban design directives applicable town-wide to all forms of development and redevelopment.
Part B - District-and Use-Specific Urban Design Direction
A series of detailed design documents specifically tailored to identified districts and specific land-uses in the Town. The creation of these design documents will be ongoing.
