3.3.3 Neighbourhoods
Neighbourhoods are the most basic component of Windsor’s urban structure and occupy the greatest proportion of the City. Neighbourhoods are stable, low-to-medium-density residential areas and are comprised of local streets, parks, open spaces, schools, minor institutions and neighbourhood and convenience scale retail services.
The three dominant types of dwellings in Windsor’s neighbourhoods are single detached, semi-detached and townhouses. The density range for Windsor’s neighbourhoods is between 20 to 35 units per net hectare.
This density range provides for low and some medium-density intensification to occur in existing neighbourhoods. Multiple dwelling buildings with medium and high-densities are encouraged at nodes identified in the Urban Structure Plan.
