Alton West Urban Design Study

The City of Burlington’s Official Plan provides a long-range planning framework for Burlington and establishes a community vision and the development of principles, objectives and policies aimed at implementing this vision.

The purpose of the Alton West Urban Design Study and Guidelines, prepared by NAK Design Consultants with the input of the Alton West Steering Committee, is to review contextual information, to obtain public input, to formulate Urban Design Objectives and to prepare Guidelines directing the physical form and the quality of the built environment with an emphasis on the public realm. Findings of the Study have been used to develop the Urban Design Guidelines and Implementation Strategy.

The Urban Design Guidelines are intended to be read in conjunction with the City of Burlington Official Plan and the Alton Secondary Plan, as well as additional documentation required by the City.
