Commercial, residential and natural character (Woodbridge HCD, City of Vaughan)

The Woodbridge HCD plan is a comprehensive district plan to conserve the commercial/residential/natural core of a village within a large urban context. The plan states that: “For Woodbridge, the process of undertaking a Heritage Conservation District Study and the subsequent creation of an HCD has had the benefit of:

• recognizing and commemorating the values that can sustain a sense of place for Woodbridge into the future
• contributing, through enhanced awareness and defined policy, toward the development of a rich physical and cultural environment
• providing clarity and certainty regarding future developments of the conservation of heritage resources for property owners, businesses and residents alike.”
