INTRODUCTION This Urban Design Brief is intended to provide the urban design rationale for the development of Piers 6, 7 + 8 as envisioned in the West Harbour Secondary Plan and the site Urban Design Study. This document is to be read in conjunction with the site’s proposed draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law. The Urban Design Brief is structured as follows:

1.0 Background – provides a brief introduction to the site’s existing conditions and surrounding context including an overview of urban design policies governing the site.

2.0 Site Design – provides a description of the compatibility and fit of the proposed future development in the context of the West Harbour Secondary Plan established goals. A block-by-block development performance standard graphic guide further compliments this section. THE PROPOSAL The 15.2 ha (37.5 acres) west waterfront subject site is located in the north end of the City of Hamilton. The site is bounded by Guise Street East to the South, the Hamilton Harbour to the North, the view terminus of James Street to the West and the HMCS Haida to the East (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Overview of Piers 6, 7 + 8

The proposed draft plan of subdivision puts forward a complete and connected mixed-use neighbourhood with the following characteristics (Figure 2): 1. A mix of uses that support a diverse and vibrant community; 2. An environmentally sustainable street and block pattern that includes landscapes designed to create a low impact community footprint; 3. A community of complete streets designed for accessibility, walking, running, cycling, taking transit and driving; 4. A street and park network that creates a variety of development blocks; 5. A variety of public spaces for active and passive recreation on the waterfront; 6. The establishment of development performance standards that encourage an architecture that is varied, contemporary and compatible with the surrounding areas; and, 7. The conservation of marine and industrial elements that acknowledge the area’s history. Figure 2. Draft Plan of Subdivision amd Land Use Plan

The low-rise collector road character is located between James Street and Discovery Drive. The streetscape is characterized by a wide right of way fl anked by low to mid-rise buildings Figure 25. with a modest street setback (average of 9 metres) on the south side of the road and an open view of the harbour to the north (Figure 25 - 26).

The high-rise local road character is located between John Street and Catharine Street. This portion of Guise Street is characterized by a narrower right of way with high-rise buildings with a large street setback (approximately 22 metres) on the south of the road and a one- storey offi ce and institutional buildings with a Figure 26. heavily vegetated edge to the north (Figure 27 - 28).

The manner in which the proposed street and block pattern and built form performance standards fi t within its immediate and broader West Harbour context is best described by analyzing how the plan addresses the Secondary Plan planning goals as follows:

2.1.1 PROMOTE A HEALTHIER HARBOUR The restoration of the health of the harbour is one of the key principles shaping the future development of the site. With this in mind, specifi c site plan design strategies have been integrated into the draft plan design of the site to include (Figure 37): 1. A new Green Street (The Greenway) that 2.
