The Community Services Department is in the process of creating a new set of development guidelines that will encourage sustainable mixed use development throughout the City. The concept is being called "The Longwood Hamlet" in recognition of the areas architectural heritage stretching back to the northeastern United States and Victorian England. Once the design guidelines are completed, developers in key areas of the City will have the option to build according to these "old world meets new world" standards. |
