Location
Offices
Offices shall be located at the front of the building facing the road. Where Mezzanine office are considered a dedicated and
separate entry shall be provided that is distinguished from warehouse structure and is commensurate with commercial office
aesthetics.
Any outdoor storage area (including garaged in storage areas and liquid waste storage tanks) shall not be located within
the Front setback. Any outdoor storage area must be screened from the road.
The
aesthetic
standards
address
components of a plot plan that will
affect the visual quality of the plot as
viewed from off-plot locations. In
addition, these components affect the
experience of on-plot workforce in their
everyday lives.
Figures 6-62 and 6-63 below illustrate
graphic guidelines for plot landscaping,
plot wall character and main signage for
the logistics, support, & light industrial
land Use Zone. For an attractive and
consistent appearance throughout the
logistics and industrial Zones, each plot
should have a distinct front side and
back side. In general, the front side
should contain the main office and
parking within a landscaped setting. The
sides and rear of the plot can be more
utilitarian and contain loading areas,
utility structures and other ancillary uses
that are generally screened from view of
public roads.

structures
In general, mechanical equipment and utility structures shall be screened from offsite views:
At grade water tank and mechanical equipment shall be located to the side and rear of the building.
Roof-top water tank and mechanical equipment shall be screened from view and not be visible from the road.
landscaping
A landscaping strip with a minimum average width of 1.5 m shall be provided along all road frontages except across
vehicle crossings and where a guardhouse is located in the road boundary setback. the landscaping strip must contain:
Minimum 1 tree and one additional tree for every 10m of roads frontage.
Where three or more trees are required these trees shall be planted no more than 15m
apart or closer than 5m apart.
Trees shall be of a species capable of reaching a minimum height at maturity of 8m and
shall not be less than 1.5 m high at the time of planting.
Walls and fences are permitted under the following conditions:
On the read and side of the property, solid walls are allowed up to a height of 2.5m however, on the front of the property
and any external boundary solid walls only up to a height of 1.4m above which a tubular metal fence with minimum 80%
opacity may be erected. The total height of this barrier shall not be more than 2.5m.
The following types of fences shall not be permitted on any side of the plot:
Barbed wire fencing.
Corrugated metal sheet fencing.
Foundations of all walls and fences shall be located within the plot boundary
Signage and branding is permitted at designated locations within the plot boundary as follows:
Embedded within the boundary wall near the entrances to the plot.
On the vertical surface of the main building.
On a standalone independent pillar located within the plot (not exceeding the maximum height of the building).
Dimensions of the signage shall be restricted within a rectangular frame of 15m x 3m
Attractive building faade design is required. Architects are encouraged to create simple, timeless design solutions that
contribute to a high-quality character:
Buildings shall display variety in forms, material and colour to reflect a style consistent with modern logistics facilities.
The office or non-logistics components of the project shall be expressed differently from that of the warehouses.
Ancillary buildings and service buildings shall be architecturally treated with colours and materials appropriate to fit within
the architectural style of the main warehouse facilities
