The Town of The Blue Mountains is advising the public of two upcoming engagement opportunities for the Community Design Guidelines Update. These sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about the project, review draft materials, ask questions and share feedback with Town staff and project consultants.

About Community Design Guidelines Update
The Town of The Blue Mountains is currently in the process of updating its Community Design Guidelines to:
- Replace the existing 2012 Community Design Guidelines.
- Update the guidelines to reflect the Town’s current policy framework, including the Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
- Provide clear design guidance for staff, developers and residents.
- Provide direction for residential, commercial, mixed-use, employment and open space areas.
The Design Guidelines apply primarily across the Town’s Settlement Areas, where residential, commercial and recreational uses are concentrated, including Craigleith, Lora Bay, Camperdown and the Town’s Villages and hamlets.
