The Development Design Guidelines (DDG) Manual was approved in 2003, and is intended to establish basic community design standards for new communities - ensuring that these areas maximize their potential and develop as attractive and functional places in which to live and work. The DDG Manual is slated to undergo a review in 2010 to supplement and enhance its existing content.

The Architectural Control Guidelines for Ground Related Residential Development were approved by Council on August 6, 2008, as an addendum to the 2003 Council-approved City-Wide Development Design Guidelines (DDGs). The Architectural Control Guidelines establish City-wide standards and criteria and streamline the approval process of the architectural component of the Block Plans, Community Design Guidelines and the architectural design review for ground-related residential dwellings.

The Downtown Civic Design Guide consists of a set of recommendations on how the design of all the components of the streetscape elements can be further coordinated to strengthen Brampton Downtown Civic identity. Section One of the Guide makes suggestions for appropriate streetscape treatments and character areas. Section two of the Guide details the requirements for street furnishing components. |

As the Flower City of Canada, Brampton focuses a great deal of effort on developing distinctive gateways and street corridors that clearly distinguish the key entries to the City and provide attractive windows into our communities. The first gateway pilot project was completed on Hurontario Street at the south City limits in 1991 (see photo to left) and to build on this initial success, a program was formalized in 2001 to develop other prime gateway locations throughout the City. As of December, 2009, three other gateways have been completed and two are scheduled for construction over the next year.

In an effort to provide a consistent standard of streetscape and park development across the City, the Planning, Design and Development Department maintains a library of standard construction details that are expected to be utilized on all municipal projects. In particular, consultants submitting landscape plans to the city for approval are encouraged to source all of their construction standards from this list.

The Outdoor Wayfinding and Signage Program, was introduced and approved by Council in June 2007. It was developed to:
- present a unified, consistent and attractive design treatment for all corporate outdoor signage across the City
- establish a distinct identity that reinforces Brampton’s reputation as Canada’s Flower City
- assist residents and visitors to finding their way around Brampton
The principle agenda is prescribed in the Outdoor Master Wayfinding Program, Design Intent Drawings for the Sign Type Array. These guidelines address hierarchy and typology to provide sign and site-specific information for consistent typography, colour selection, graphics character and construction methods for all civic signage across the City. |
