3 NEIGHBOURHOOD CONTEXT PLAN 3 The site s diversity is reflected in the great variety of services and urban conditions in the surrounding neighbourhood. Key urban features include: LEGEND SITE PARKDALE PARK & FARMER S MARKET COMMERCIAL MUNICIPAL WELLINGTON ST 50M 200FT The Parkdale Market, Parkdale Park, The shops and restaurants of Wellington Street (also a Traditional Main Street), and The proximity to the Transitway, a key circulation corridor. In addition to the general guidelines and restrictions, the site also falls within the following categories: It is in a Design Priority Area (DPA), It is in a Business Improvement Area (BIA), and It is subject to the 600m Zoning By-Law for Transitway Stations (which allows for reduced parking requirements for certain occupancy types). The Development Proposal responds to this highly dynamic site by proposing mixed-use, high quality buildings that fit with the existing neighbourhood scale and character, while offering the benefits of density and a rejuvenated street edge.
