Growth Strategy:Implement a clear vision through providing missing
form, affordability and choice through ‘Pre-zoning’
Commercial Mixed Use
Nodes and Corridors
Transit Oriented Design - LRT
Downtown Secondary Plan
Laneway & Secondary Suites

What did we want the Commercial and Mixed Use Zones (CMU) and Transit Oriented
Corridor Zones (TOC) to achieve?
“Commercial Diet” Be Flexible Business Friendly
Address Climate Change Economic Resilient

Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) Zones
• Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC1) Zone
• Roughly based on the Mixed Use Medium – Pedestrian Focus
(C5a) Zone.
• Aims to strengthen the pedestrian environment for the future light
rail line.
• General reduction in parking requirements
• Short and Long Term Bicycle Parking requirements

Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) Zones
![Page 12: What’s Missing –Hamilton’s Approach to Growth](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012805/61bd38a661276e740b108fe7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 13: What’s Missing –Hamilton’s Approach to Growth](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012805/61bd38a661276e740b108fe7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) Zones
• Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC2) Zone is a local
commercial zone• Local commercial uses
• Same motor vehicle and bicycle parking requirements as
above
• Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC3) Zone and Transit
Oriented Corridor (TOC4) Zone are residential zones• Permit local commercial uses in addition to residential uses

Laneway Housing
- Permit a secondary dwelling unit within a
standalone building on a lot adjoining a laneway;
