The Development Guidelines set out City expectations around design for landowners, developers, and consultants to use when preparing projects within the City of Belleville. They have been developed to promote high quality urban design, through the City’s review of development proposals, and provide comprehensive recommendations that guide streetscape design in the public realm along with neighbourhood character and built form for private development. The Guidelines would apply to all development being proposed by an application for plan of subdivision approval or an application for site plan approval.
