Appendix 2 – Surrey 2050

DP1.2 GAS STATION

Driveway Access The following design elements shall be considered for Gas Stations in Commercial Centres:

57. Site layout should be based on the functional requirements of an average-sized vehicle. Large delivery trucks should be restricted to a dedicated or outside lane.

58. Minimize the number and the width of the entry points to the site to limit open views over the large paved areas. Access drive- ways to the site should be restricted to two from the primary street and to one from the

secondary street. Access drive- ways should be located as far away from the intersection as possible. (illustr.)

59. Raised curbs should be used to slow vehicles entering the site, minimize the interruption of the sidewalk and reduce views toward the paved areas. Pavement Standards The following design elements shall be considered for Gas Stations in Commercial Centres:

60.

Break up the asphalt areas with concrete bands and/or pavers of contrasting color to reduce the impact of large paved areas viewed from above.

61.

Use other types of paving (e.g. contrasting texture and color) to identify customer

COMMERCIAL CENTRES parking areas, gas pump service areas and pedestrian routes from the sidewalk to the commercial store. (illustr.)

62.

Continuity of the public sidewalk should be maintained and reinforced across drive- ways to the site by using contrasting pavement.
