Green Development Strategy
The Green Development Strategy focuses on achieving sustainability and environmental responsibility in new development in Mississauga. The key recommendations include striking up a Task Force, requesting that new development applications demonstrate LEED-NC Silver certification in addition to incorporating technologies outlined in Stage One Green Development Standards.

New Dwellings, Replacement Housing and Additions
The purpose of this document is to assist home owners, designers, architects and landscape architects by outlining the framework and design principles on which the guidelines for Site Plan approval are based. Photo and diagram examples are included to clearly demonstrate the preferred design options that meet the City's design guidelines.

Design Guidelines for Industrial Buildings
Mississauga's major streets carry high volumes of traffic. The impression created by the design of these streets will have a profound effect on the overall image of Mississauga. The Design Guidelines for Industrial Areas establish the desired image and provide a set of guidelines for development along these important streets within industrial areas.

Streetscape: Hurontario Street Matheson Blvd. to Hwy 401
Hurontario Street between Highway 401 and Matheson Boulevard is a major gateway to Mississauga. The immediate impression on entering should be that of a well-designed City, where orderly development and an attractive built-environment are taken for granted. The gateway should create a sense of entry and prepare the incoming motorist for arrival at the City Centre. It should also leave the departing motorist with an image of a sophisticated, urbane City.

Design Guidelines for High Density Apartments
These Urban Design Guidelines have been formulated as a means of identifying and responding to fundamental design issues related to high density apartments in the City of Mississauga. They suggest, in broad principles, various design approaches to different site situations.

Streetscape: City Centre Area
These guidelines supplement the City Centre Secondary Plan, which has the general goal of developing a high intensity, mixed-used city centre with a distinct identity, serving as the cultural and civic focus for Mississauga and as the major commercial centre for the region.

Streetscape: McLaughlin Road, Eglinton Avenue West to Britannia Road West
McLaughlin Road is one of the more scenic roadways in Mississauga, primarily due to the mature deciduous trees which fringe and envelop the central section of this thoroughfare. In addition to being designated as a major collector, McLaughlin Road is also designated as a scenic route. Until recently McLaughlin Road was a relatively narrow, undulating passage, bounded by ditches, with a distinctly rural character. It is the intent of the scenic route designation to ensure that any maintenance or physical modification of the roadway reinforce or enhance its scenic qualities. The guidelines contained within the McLaughlin Road Streetscape Study are intended to assist in maintaining the scenic qualities of McLaughlin Road. They are directed towards maintaining a consistency of streetscape and to reducing haphazard and conflicting visual elements.

Design Guidelines for Automobile Service Stations, Car Washes, and Accessory Uses
The Design Guidelines for Automobile Service Stations, Car Washes, and Accessory Uses were developed to address issues which have resulted from recent changes in the petroleum industry. These include a shift toward additional convenience related uses in kiosks (including take-out windows for food service), changes in car wash technology, and the predominance of accessory uses associated with the sale of petroleum products.
