Description: This document stops short of being a code, for political reasons intentionally remaining a guideline. It strongly enforces the neighborhood structure.

Assessment: This is a very comprehensive document involving justification, technical description, guidelines, and references. It incorporates an energy efficiency component for cold climates. It has been adopted by the Calgary City Planning Commission. The graphic layout does not contribute to the structure of the document. It is not clear for whom it is written, but it could serve planning staff and other professionals.
