Guidelines
8.2.2
Developments not on arterial or collector highways should be built to the
front property line to encourage a pedestrian-friendly shopping environment
and streetscape.
8.2.3
Entrances to multi-tenant buildings should be closely spaced to encourage
vitality with windows occupying the bulk of the highway facing facades.
8.2.4
Pedestrian weather protection shall be incorporated through site and
building design, awnings, and other screening. Retail uses should have
pedestrian weather protection along highway fronts, including extending this
protection between buildings.
8.2.5
Pedestrian continuity between building complexes, loading areas, and bus
stops should be emphasized by extending sidewalk-paving patterns over
crosswalk areas.
8.2.6
In mixed-use developments, the residential component should have a
separate entrance.
Bylaw 8256
8.2.7
Safety and security should be considered in site design and layout. Design
should respond positively to CPTED (Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design) principles of territoriality and defensible space,
hierarchy of space, natural surveillance, access control, and image and
maintenance as well as addressing the components of movement
predictors, entrapment areas, activity generators, crime facilitators, hot
spots and crime corridors, areas of conflict, edge effects, and displacement
effects.
8.2.8
Vehicle oriented uses should be designed to minimize queuing that will
interfere with traffic on adjacent highways or pedestrians on adjacent
sidewalks.
8.2.9
The form and character of new development should respect the form and
character of existing development in the area around the development site.
8.2.10 Parking should be provided in smaller nodes preferably to the rear or side of
buildings.
8.2.11 Lighting of parking and pathways should generally be at pedestrian level
with pole and fixture between 2.7 m and 4.2 m to prevent vandalism and
provide illumination over a reasonable area.
8.2.12 Every off-street parking or loading area that is illuminated should have all
lighting positioned in such a manner that undesirable light falling onto
abutting properties and highways is minimized.
8.2.13 Parking in regional commercial centers should be visually separated into
smaller sections by curbing, landscaping and similar elements.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
61
8.2.14 In developments that have a reasonable expectation of needing more
parking for the disabled than required by Section 7.1.29, additional parking
shall be required to suit the circumstances.
8.2.15 A snow management plan should be provided for any site larger than 2,500
m².
8.2.16 Landscape buffers at least 6.0 m wide should screen regional commercial
centres from Provincial Highways.
8.2.17 Landscaping materials should be chosen to provide colour in the winter. A
suggested planting ratio is 60% coniferous and 40% deciduous.
8.2.18 Natural environmental features on the site shall be protected. Emphasis will
be placed on retention of native and mature trees. Where disturbed by
construction, areas should be rehabilitated to a level acceptable to the City.
8.2.19 Utility and mechanical equipment should be screened from pedestrians.
8.2.20 Intakes and outlets for ventilation should not be located by pedestrian
walkways or in areas where they may be adversely affected by the exhaust
from parked or loading vehicles.
8.2.21 Containers for garbage and recyclables should be effectively screened
behind an opaque fence on a minimum of three sides.
8.2.22 In addition to meeting the requirements of the Sign Bylaw, signs should be
integrated with the building facade through colour and graphic style.
Bylaw 9273
8.2.23 The use of prefabricated metal buildings is discouraged.
Bylaw 9273
8.2.24 Buildings should be designed to express quality architectural design, design
details, articulation and quality materials on all sides of the building.
Bylaw 9273
8.2.25 Buildings should have varied height and incorporate secondary architectural
elements and material articulation to increase the visual interest.
Bylaw 9273
8.2.26 Avoid long or continuous blank walls and divide large vertical or horizontal
facades into varying masses.
Bylaw 9273
8.2.27 Integrate corporate colours as minor accent features not overall themes to
avoid the use of colour blocks, banding or stripes.
Bylaw 9273
8.2.28 Locate the office, reception, or sales component of the building to be visible
and accessible from the street.
Additional Guidelines for Regional Commercial Areas at the Intersection of Highway
16 and Highway 97
8.2.29 Buildings should be designed to provide visual interest. All sides of large
buildings should be finished with architectural details (not simply painted
features) with no blank elevations.
8.2.30 Buildings should not be used as "signs". Innovative alternatives should be
explored to maintain corporate identity and to avoid turning the entire
building into a corporate poster.
8.2.31 Signage should be limited to a single message per business and should be
arranged to have a maximum of one grouping of signs per road frontage.
8.2.32 Free-standing signs are encouraged to be located adjacent to the required
landscaped areas but should not be incorporated within such areas, or
between the landscaped areas and the boulevard.
8.2.33 Regional commercial uses should be screened from the adjacent Highway
16 and Highway 97 right of way according to the Landscaping Plan outlined
in Figure 10 (Drawing L1 and L2) of the Golf Course - Pine Centre
Neighbourhood Plan. Limited interactive display areas may be integrated
within the landscaped area provided it does not exceed 10% of a property's
frontage.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
62
8.2.34 In order to accommodate pedestrian traffic throughout the site, a trail
should be installed along the highway frontage according to the details
outlined in Figure 10 (Drawing L1 and L2) of the Golf Course - Pine Centre
Neighbourhood Plan.
Bylaw 8256
Additional Guidelines for the Z10: Inland Plaza Zone
8.2.35 Visitor commercial uses focused near the intersection of Highway 97 and
Boundary Road should include outdoor gathering spaces that include
landscaping and amenities (such as benches and garbage bins). These
spaces will provide relief from asphalt and provide comfortable outdoor
spaces for visitors.
8.2.36 Outdoor gathering spaces should be designed to be comfortable in summer
and winter months. This could include, but is not limited to: utilizing screens
to block wind, locating public spaces in areas with sun exposure (not shady
areas), and incorporating outdoor furniture that is comfortable in cold and
warm climates.
8.2.37 For properties fronting Highway 97 and Boundary Road, buildings should be
sited to front Highway 97 and Boundary Road, with parking concentrated
behind buildings.
8.2.38 Buildings should be designed to provide visual interest. All sides of large
buildings should be finished with architectural details (not simply painted
features) with no blank elevations.
8.2.39 Plans for landscaped areas and outdoor gathering spaces should consider
how low impact development standards can be integrated into the design to
manage storm water on-site. This could include, but is not limited to: bio-
retention basins or ponds, constructed wetlands, and storage/re-use of
storm water run-off for irrigation.
8.2.40 Pedestrian continuity between buildings, tenancies, and properties should
be achieved through the use of paths and sidewalks.
8.2.41 Encourage the use of wood façade design and the architectural expression
of buildings to emphasize the important role the forestry industry has played
in the evolution of Prince George.
8.2.42 Access ramps and related elements should be visually integrated with the
overall building design and site plan so as to not appear as an unintegrated
add-on to a building façade.

Connectivity: Enhancing the Pedestrian and Cycling Network
8.3.2
For new development or redevelopment on large sites, incorporate streets
and pathways that support and extend existing streets, lanes, the open
space network and pattern of small blocks established by the original 1912
Brett and Hall Town Plan.
8.3.3
Where lanes have been removed, they should be restored through
redevelopment as opportunities arise.
8.3.4
Avoid cul-de-sacs and other physical barriers that deter or prevent people
from walking or cycling and remove these barriers as opportunities arise.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
63
8.3.5
Increase pedestrian connections to adjacent parks, activity nodes, and
residential neighbourhoods to create more route options and direct
connections for pedestrians and cyclists.
Street Definition
Bylaw 8256
8.3.6
Minimize the distance that buildings are set back from the sidewalk to
create good street definition and a sense of enclosure.
8.3.7
Build ground floor commercial uses up to the front property line so that a
continuous commercial street frontage and a positive street definition are
maintained. A setback may be considered where there is a courtyard,
restaurant patio or other feature that benefits businesses, patrons and
pedestrians, or to respond to the building setback from an adjacent
property, and should consider the incorporation of public art.
8.3.8
For new developments with tall buildings (over 6 storeys in height)
incorporate a base building or street-wall at a scale similar to adjacent
buildings and street width.
8.3.9
Site and design buildings to respond to specific site conditions and
opportunities, including: prominent intersections, corner lots, unusual
topography and natural features, sites framing important open spaces, and
sites with buildings that terminate a street end view.
Transparency: Creating Active Frontages
Commercial and Mixed Use Buildings
8.3.10
Provide pedestrian access to storefronts and businesses from the adjacent
public street, and orient upper-storey windows and balconies to overlook
adjoining public open spaces.
Bylaw 8256
8.3.11
On corner lots, develop street-facing façades for both streets. Design front
elevations with pronounced entrances oriented to the corner or primary
streets.
8.3.12
Ensure that storefronts are transparent: clear sight lines from the inside of
buildings to open public spaces should allow for casual surveillance of the
street and sidewalk, and store interiors should be visible from the street.
8.3.13
The following design parameters are desired to create active and
transparent street frontages:
a)
provide a minimum glazing area of 75% for frontages at grade for
commercial frontages downtown;
b)
establish a minimum retail frontage depth of 10 m along
commercial streets;
c)
entrances 10 m to 20 m apart along commercial streets to create
active storefront activity; and
d)
recess entrances to buildings from the sidewalk or property line by
a minimum of 0.6 m to protect the pedestrian from door swings
and to emphasize entrances.
8.3.14
Architecturally differentiate residential entrances (private) from business
entrances (public) in mixed-use buildings.
8.3.15
Incorporate small, transparent storefronts with frequent entrances into
large floor plate commercial developments to compliment the pattern and
character of commercial streets downtown.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
64
8.3.16
Encourage smaller shop frontages and upper level residential uses into
large format commercial buildings.
8.3.17
Avoid expansive blank walls (over 5 m in length) and retaining walls
adjacent to public streets. When blank walls and retaining walls are
unavoidable, use an appropriate design treatment, such as:
a)
install a vertical trellis in front of the wall with climbing vines or
other plant material;
b)
set the wall back slightly to provide room for evergreens and
conifers that provide year- round screening;
c)
provide art (e.g. a mosaic, mural, relief) over a substantial portion
of the wall surface.
d)
employ quality materials of different textures and colours to make
the wall more interesting visually;
e)
provide special lighting, canopies, awnings, horizontal trellises or
other human-scale features that break up the size of the blank wall
surface and add visual interest;
f)
incorporate walls into a patio or sidewalk café space; and,
g)
terrace (step down) retaining walls.
Residential Buildings
8.3.18
Site and orient townhouses and apartments to overlook public streets,
parks, walkways, and communal spaces, while ensuring the security and
privacy of residents.
8.3.19
Develop ground floor residential uses that incorporate individual entrances
to each ground floor unit and are accessible from the fronting street. This
enhances pedestrian connections, street activity and safety.
8.3.20
Create residential entries that are clearly visible and identifiable from the
fronting public street to make the building more approachable and create a
sense of association amongst neighbours.
8.3.21
Set back buildings with residential uses on the ground floor generally
between 2 m and 4 m, and elevate the entryway by a minimum of 0.6 m to
create a semi-private transition zone to individual units.
8.3.22
On streets with high traffic volumes, consider a landscaped transition zone
in between the entryway and public sidewalk.
8.3.23
Ensure lobbies and main building entries are clearly visible from the street,
and have direct sight lines into them.
8.3.24
Incorporate lobbies with multiple access points to enhance building access
and connectivity with adjacent open spaces.
Parking Servicing and Access
8.3.25
Parking, vehicular loading, service functions, garbage disposal, and other
similar activities should be located at the rear of the building with lane
access and appropriate landscape screening so as not to conflict with
pedestrian-oriented activity fronting the street.
8.3.26
Structured underground parking is preferred over off-street surface
parking.
8.3.27
To ensure attractive and pedestrian oriented open spaces, off-street
parking located between the front face of a building and the public
sidewalk is strongly discouraged along commercial streets within the
downtown.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
65
8.3.28
Screen off-street parking adjacent to the public sidewalk using materials
that provide a visual buffer while still allowing clear visibility into the
parking areas. Screening could include landscaping, such as trellis or grille
with climbing vines.
8.3.29
Locate public on-street parking at the curb to provide convenient and easy
access to commercial and residential entrances.
8.3.30
In general, vehicular access should be from the lane. Where there is no
lane, and where the reintroduction of a lane is difficult or not possible,
access may be provided from the street, provided that:
a)
access is from the long face of the block;
b)
there is minimal interruption of the pedestrian realm and
streetscape treatment through the use of mountable curbs to
reduce grade change;
c)
waiting or pick-up/drop-off areas are located internal to the
site, not in the public right-of- way; and
d)
there is no more than one interruption per block face and only
one curb cut on the street.
8.3.31
Architecturally integrate vehicular entrances and associated components
into the building through treatments such as enclosure, screening, high-
quality finishes, sensitive lighting and landscaping. Avoid ramps located
directly off the street.
Bylaw 9041
8.3.32
Do not locate vehicle entrances and curb cuts along Primary Retail and
Service Streets.
8.3.33
Provide clear lines of sight at access points to parking, site servicing, and
utility areas to enable casual surveillance and improve traffic and
pedestrian safety, with pedestrian priority design.
8.3.34
Encourage shared parking and access where possible.
8.3.35
Avoid large parking lots by incorporating pedestrian pathways and
landscaping.
8.3.36
For hotels, incorporate adequate and comfortable drop-off areas that are
directly adjacent to lobbies to minimize impacts on the pedestrian realm
and streetscape.
8.3.37
In developments that have a reasonable expectation of needing more
parking for the disabled than required by Section 7.1.27, additional
parking should suit the circumstances.
Height and Massing
8.3.38
Break up the visual mass of large buildings to reduce their visual impact on
the pedestrian realm and to create variation along the street. This can be
achieved by incorporating minor visual breaks in building façades using
vertical setbacks and upper-storey step-backs.
8.3.39
Limit the visual mass of building façades to lengths of 40 m or less. This
can be achieved by incorporating a substantial setback such as a courtyard
or framed periodic openings to provide public views into private open
space features.
8.3.40
Buildings over 3 storeys in height should be developed with a maximum
frontage length of 80 m. Development of buildings 3 storeys in height or
lower should have a maximum frontage length of 40 m.
Bylaw 9041
8.3.41
Determine street wall height by the width of the fronting street; generally,
the wider the street, the taller the street wall.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
66
Weather Protection
General
8.3.42
Provide weather protection over storefronts and display windows to
encourage browsing and casual viewing of merchandise by pedestrians.
8.3.43
Provide adequate weather protection in front of buildings adjacent to bus
zones and street corners where people wait for traffic lights.
8.3.44
Provide weather protection from building entrances to curb-side taxi zones
or drop-off areas for major buildings and places of entertainment, where
people wait for significant durations.
8.3.45
Balance weather protection with daylight penetration when placing
awnings and canopies. Avoid opaque canopies that run the full length of
façades.
8.3.46
Integrate the design and placement of awnings or canopies with public
space furnishings such as ornamental street lighting, banners, hanging
baskets or street trees.
Awnings
8.3.47
Awnings are preferred to canopies for use on storefronts less than 10 m in
length, and along George Street to reinforce its heritage character.
8.3.48
Three-point or four-point awnings are preferred.
8.3.49
Avoid the use of quarter-barrel awnings.
8.3.50
Awnings should meet the following dimensions:
a)
a minimum clearance of 2.6 m measured from the sidewalk;
and,
b)
a minimum width over the sidewalk of 1.8 m, but no more than
two thirds of the total sidewalk width.
8.3.51
Establish a minimum slope of 30 degrees for awnings to allow for proper
drainage and the cleaning action of rain and wind.
8.3.52
Design awnings to be sympathetic to the style, scale, form, and period of
the building.
8.3.53
Construct awnings of durable, colourfast material. This may include
reinforced plastic-coated fabric provided that the look and feel of canvas is
maintained.
8.3.54
In order to encourage attractive building frontages, discourage the use of
awnings as signs (and signs as awnings). Signage on the front face of a 4-
point awning should not exceed 0.3 m in height along the front face of the
awning.
8.3.55
Awnings, canopies, and overhangs should incorporate architectural design
features and the fenestration pattern (placement of windows and doors) of
the buildings they extend from.
8.3.56
Minimize obscurement of the building façade or historic detailing when
placing awnings and canopies.
Canopies
8.3.57
Canopies are preferred for use on building frontages over 15 m, along
sloped sidewalks, along major pedestrian routes having a predominance of
existing canopies, and on
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
67
8.3.58
Canopies should have a minimum vertical clearance of 2.6 m, as
measured from the sidewalk. Extend canopies out over the sidewalk by at
least 2.6 m, while maintaining a minimum 0.6 m setback from the outer
face of the curb.
8.3.59
Transparent and translucent canopies are preferred to allow natural light
to penetrate to storefronts and the sidewalk. Wood and glass are
encouraged for canopies.
8.3.60
Design canopies to extend over building frontages greater than 30 m to
reduce their apparent scale and length to better relate to the pedestrian
scale of the street. The preferred approach is to break up the canopy to
reflect the architecture and fenestration pattern (placement of windows
and doors) of the building façade, and to step down to follow the profile of
the street.
8.3.61
Unless indicated otherwise by the City, install canopies in a way as to be
removable should this be required at a future date.
Signage
8.3.62
Provide attractive signage on commercial buildings that clearly identifies
uses and shops, and is scaled to the pedestrian rather than the motorist.
8.3.63
Provide visible signage identifying the building address at all entrances.
8.3.64
Limit signage in number, location, and size to reduce visual clutter and to
make individual signs easier to see.
8.3.65
Representational and iconic signs are encouraged to help recognize Prince
George's history and character.
8.3.66
Apply a single fascia sign to each façade at the first storey, in a size that
does not exceed 0.9 m in height along any length.
8.3.67
Signage should be externally lit. Signage within shop front glazing may be
backlit, but it is recommended not to exceed 0.5 m in height and 2 m in
length.
Bylaw 8256
8.3.68
Maintain a minimum 4.5 m clearance for vertical banners above
sidewalk/street level, and do not project them into the street.
8.3.69
The following are preferred or acceptable types of commercial signage in
the downtown:
a)
projected two-dimensional or marquee signs suspended from
canopies and awnings (fitting within a 36.2 by 60.2 inch horizontal
rectangle);
b)
flush-mounted fascia signs;
c)
externally lit signs;
d)
small vertical banners and signs with individual letters should not
exceed 18 inches in any dimension; and,
e)
individual cut-out or silhouette letter signs mounted on storefronts.

Architectural Concept: Achieving a Human Scale
General
8.3.83
Create visual interest for the pedestrian, buildings facades by incorporating
a range of architectural features and design details in building facades that
express both variation and consistency.
Consider architectural features that include:
a)
building height, massing, articulation and modulation;
b)
bay windows and balconies;
c)
corner features accent, such as turrets or cupolas;
d)
decorative rooflines and cornices Building entries; and
e)
canopies and overhangs
Consider architectural features that include:
f)
treatment of masonry (for example, ceramic tile, paving stones,
brick patterns);
g)
treatment of siding (for example, the use of score lines, textures,
and different materials or patterning to distinguish between
different floors);
h)
articulation of columns and pilasters;
i)
ornament or integrated artwork;
j)
integrated architectural lighting;
k)
detailed grilles and railings;
l)
substantial trim moldings; and
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
69
m)
trellises and arbors.
8.3.84
Design buildings to express their internal function and use.
8.3.85
Locate and design entrances to create building identity and to distinguish
between individual commercial or residential ground floor units. Use a high
level of architectural detail and, where appropriate, landscape treatment to
emphasize primary entrances and to provide "punctuation" in the overall
streetscape treatment.
8.3.86
Design balconies as integral parts of buildings and to maximize daylight
access into dwellings through the use of glazed or narrow metal spindle
guardrails.
8.3.87
Utility and mechanical equipment should be screened from pedestrians.
8.3.88
Clearly distinguish the roofline from the walls of buildings (for example,
through the use of a cornice, overhang, or decorative motif).
Windows and Doors
8.3.89
Reinforce the human scale of architecture by incorporating individual
windows in upper storeys that:
a)
are vertically proportioned and approximately the size and
proportion of a traditional window;
b)
include substantial trim or molding;
c)
are separated from adjacent windows by a vertical element;
d)
are made up of small panes of glass; and,
e)
are separated with moldings or jambs but grouped together to form
larger areas of glazing.
8.3.90
Discourage the use of figured or frosted glass or tinted glazing for windows
facing the street except for compatible use of stained glass or where
figured or frosted glass comprises a maximum 20% of the glazing. This
creates a welcoming, visually interesting and transparent street frontage.
Exterior Materials
8.3.91
Encourage the use of wood in facade design and the architectural
expression of buildings to emphasize the important role the forestry
industry has played in the evolution of Prince George.
8.3.92
Incorporate natural building materials into façades of new buildings to
avoid a "thin veneer" look and feel, incorporated along with more modern
treatments, such as glass curtain walls for office buildings.
8.3.93
The following materials are recommended for use in the downtown:
a)
natural wood materials, including:
-
milled and un-milled timbers;
-
window and door trim;
-
canopy structures;
-
signage;
b)
brick masonry;
c)
glazed tile;
d)
stone;
e)
concrete, painted;
f)
flat profile "slate" concrete tiles;
g)
glass and wood for window assemblies;
h)
standing seam metal roofing; and,
i)
glass curtain walls for office buildings.
8.3.94
The following materials are acceptable for use in the downtown:
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
70
a)
pre-finished metal, non-corrugated type, emphasizing either vertical
or horizontal arrangements but not both; and,
b)
limited amounts of stucco.
8.3.95
The following materials are discouraged for use in the downtown:
a)
vinyl siding;
b)
swirl Type Stucco; and
c)
vinyl for window frames.
Landscaping
8.3.96
Create a positive interface between buildings and streets by using
perennials, shrubs, and trees to soften buildings, where appropriate.
8.3.97
Landscaping materials should be chosen to provide colour in the winter. A
suggested planting ratio is 60% coniferous and 40% deciduous.
8.3.98
Use hard landscape treatments such as terraced retaining walls and
planters to transition between grades, where necessary. The following are
preferred approaches for achieving this guideline:
a)
incorporate a planter guard or low planter wall as part of the
building design;
b)
use distinctive landscaping in open areas created by building
articulation;
c)
include a special feature such as a courtyard, fountain, or pool;
and,
d)
emphasize entries with special planting in conjunction with
decorative paving or lighting.
Strengthening Neighbourliness
Bylaw 8256
8.3.99
Ensure that new development responds to the positive architectural
characteristics of existing development. Achieve a good fit with new or
renovated buildings by ensuring that such development references the
distinctive and desirable architectural qualities of adjacent buildings, such
as similar or complementary:
a)
massing, height, articulation and scale;
b)
architectural style;
c)
roof forms;
d)
building details and fenestration proportions and patterns; and
e)
materials and colour.
8.3.100 Incorporate articulation into the design of new buildings to create intervals
in their façades that respond to the existing pattern along the street. Below
are several methods in which building articulation can promote
compatibility with the existing architectural context:
a)
modulate the façade with step-backs or forward extensions along a
portion of the façade to create a series of intervals or breaks;
b)
repeat window patterns at intervals that correspond to extensions
and step-backs;
c)
provide a porch, patio, deck, or covered entry for each interval;
d)
provide a balcony or bay window for each interval; and,
e)
change the roofline by alternating dormers, stepped roofs, gables,
or other roof elements to reinforce the modulation or articulation
interval.

Green and Healthy Buildings
8.3.101 Site and design new development to minimize the disruption of privacy and
outdoor activities of adjacent buildings and private open spaces.
8.3.102 Site and orient new development so that the majority of living spaces
receive direct sunlight (for the daylight hours at equinox).
8.3.103 Design residential buildings to receive daylight and natural ventilation from
at least two sides of the building, or from one side and a roof. Where
possible, provide dwelling units with a choice of aspect: front and back, or
on two sides (for corner units).
8.3.104 Design new buildings with greater floor-to-ceiling heights to increase the
amount of interior space that can be lit from windows.
Bylaw 8256
8.3.105 Dwelling units with exterior access on only one side should provide a good
view of the direction of the sun (ideally both) and are most suitable. Wide
frontages with shallow floor plans allow adequate penetration of daylight.
Dwelling units with exterior access on two sides are usually suitable for
narrower frontages and deeper floor plates.
8.3.106 Intakes and outlets for ventilation should not be located by pedestrian
walkways or in areas where they may be adversely affected by the exhaust
from parked or loading vehicles.
8.3.107 Ensure that the siting, form, and scale of buildings do not block significant
views and solar access from existing or anticipated development, and that
shadowing impacts on adjacent residential buildings and usable open
spaces are minimized.
8.3.108 In residential and mixed-use projects incorporate courtyards and
greenways as defining elements of the project while providing a common
garden area, play space, gathering place, walkway, or other use located to
maximize the amount of direct sunlight received.
8.3.109 Incorporate safe and sunny play areas for children that have surveillance
from ground-oriented and upper-storey dwellings in residential
developments.
8.3.110 Where at-grade space is limited, rooftop common open spaces are
encouraged. Upper-storey terraces are encouraged to open onto rooftop
gardens, where possible, to increase access to semi-private outdoor
amenity space.
8.3.111 Incorporate green roofs, where appropriate, to help absorb storm water
and provide outdoor amenity space for residents and workers.
8.3.112 Retention and infiltration best management practices to be used as
appropriate.
8.3.113 Make use of existing buildings where possible, or carefully deconstruct
building and reuse materials. Use of materials with recycled content is
strongly encouraged.
8.3.114 In each dwelling unit of a residential or mixed-use project incorporate
direct access to a usable private outdoor space such as a patio, balcony, or
upper-level terrace. These should be of adequate size and be covered to
ensure comfort and usability.
8.3.115 Residential development within 300 m of the Rail Terminal on 1st Avenue
should consider design details to mitigate noise and vibration issues.
Personal Safety, Security, and Accessibility
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED
72
8.3.116 Safety and security should be considered in site design and layout. Design
should respond positively to CPTED (Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design) principles of territoriality and defensible space,
hierarchy of space, natural surveillance, access control, and image and
maintenance as well as addressing the components of movement
predictors, entrapment areas, activity generators, crime facilitators, hot
spots and crime corridors, areas of conflict, edge effects, and
displacement effects.
8.3.117 8Ensure the design of new development increases "eyes on the street"
with the placement of windows, balconies and street-level uses, and allows
for casual surveillance of parks, open spaces, and childrens' play areas.
8.3.118 Avoid blank, windowless walls that do not permit residents or workers to
observe public streets and open spaces.
8.3.119 Incorporate the creative use of ornamental grilles over ground-floor
windows or as fencing, as necessary and where appropriate.
8.3.120 Provide adequate lighting along streets and at entrances to enhance the
sense of personal safety and security.
8.3.121 Design parking areas to allow natural surveillance by retaining clear lines
of sight between public sidewalks and building entrances.
8.3.122 Eliminate structures and landscaping materials that provide hiding places
for undesirable activity. Generally, landscape elements that shield areas
above eye level or below the knee are appropriate.
8.3.123 Ensure all pedestrian routes including those leading to building entrances
are safe and easy to use by a wide range of pedestrian abilities. Such
routes should be direct, level, obstacle-free, easily identifiable and clearly
separated from vehicular routes.
Environmental Considerations
8.3.124 Construct hanging signs, parapet extensions, awnings and canopies with
sufficient bracing to withstand strong winds such as might be typical of the
area.
8.3.125 Design and flash architectural elements exposed to precipitation, such as
roofs, cornices, edges, canopies and decorative detailing, should be
properly designed and flashed to protect the building structure and carry
water away from pedestrian pathways or human-use areas.
8.3.126 Design any building structure upon which snow accumulates (canopies,
awnings, roof forms) to have spontaneous snow dump of accumulated
loads into non-pedestrian areas. Snow must be positively shed or positively
retained. Deflect shedding snow from pedestrian areas by dormers, hipped
roofs, canopies, or other means. Protect all steps and wheelchair ramps
from ice and snow build-up.
8.3.127 Repeated heating and cooling of snow loads can give rise to ice
accumulations. In the building design, consider heat loss factors as a
method of controlling ice build-up. Accord proper flashing to areas subject
to ice accumulation. Design walkways, entries, and other human use areas
with the aim of minimum potential ice build-up and efficient removal of
accumulations that do occur.
8.3.128 Locate snow storage to ensure that solar radiation can sufficiently facilitate
the melting of snow. Site plans should account for the runoff of melting
snow.
City of Prince George Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007 - CONSOLIDATED

Tall Buildings
8.3.129 The following guidelines are recommended for tall buildings (6 storeys or
higher):
a)
maintain an open spacing to ensure adequate light, air, access,
and views for residents;
b)
site tall buildings with an offset spacing to avoid tall buildings
looking directly into each other;
c)
establish a minimum facing distance of 35 m between tall
buildings;
d)
establish a maximum floor plate width of 24 m;
e)
use vertical and horizontal articulation (for example, incorporating
changes of plane, stepped terraces, or modulated plan and façade
forms);
f)
achieve an interesting and varied roof form (for example, by
incorporating a top-level penthouse or amenity space to conceal
appurtenances and mechanical equipment);
g)
incorporate a base building sited and scaled to complement
adjacent buildings and to create a strong street-wall definition;
h)
set back tall buildings from the base building facade by a minimum
of 5 m while still achieving good address on the fronting public
street or open space;
i)
incorporate ground-floor uses that have views into and access to,
where possible, adjacent streets, parks and open spaces; and,
j)
locate primary entrances so that they are clearly visible and directly
accessible from the public sidewalk, plaza, or other open space.
8.3.130 High rise buildings (11 storeys or higher) should have a maximum floor
plate size of 750 m².
Master Planning
Bylaw 8256
8.3.131 A Master Plan may be required for Tall Buildings (6 stories or higher) or
Large Sites (5000 m² or greater). The City may, at its discretion, identify
other sites with special characteristics or conditions where Master Plans
are required. A Master Plan for large sites and sites with tall buildings
should detail through graphics and text, the following development issues:
a) location and dimensions of:
-
public streets, parks, and accessible open spaces;
-
pedestrian circulation and the relationship to pedestrian
sidewalks and paths, transit stops, and shelters;
-
base buildings and taller buildings;
-
building setbacks from streets, parks and open spaces;
-
building entrances;
-
site access, service areas, ramps, drop-off and parking for
