The town is now in Stage 3 of the province’s reopening framework. More town amenities, programs and services are becoming available. Provincial orders remain in effect and we must all follow public health guidelines.
The urban design manual sets the framework for desirable and compatible development that sympathetically responds to the surrounding context, maintains and enhances the character of an area and promotes a more human approach to development.
The Livable by Design Manual is comprised of three distinct components which will implement the Livable Oakville Plan by providing the necessary direction for designing and assessing development.
A comprehensive set of guiding design principles and urban design directives applicable town-wide (south of Dundas Street) to all forms of development and redevelopment.
Part AA 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.
Part BA comprehensive set of detailed standards and technical direction to achieve the best possible site development and functionality.
