INTRODUCTION
APPLICABILITY
Convenience is important for citizens and

昀椀t seamlessly into a neighbourhood without
detracting from the commercial vibrancy
of Downtown. There is one neighbourhood
Mixed-Use area identi昀椀ed in the Plan.
The following policies apply to lands identi昀椀ed
as “NMU - Neighbourhood Mixed-Use” on Map

small and focus on serving daily needs of the
residents within walking distance.

people to walk for their daily
commercial needs.
Objective 27: Encourage mixed-use
developments in suitable
locations where vehicle
