Minimum Constraints • Parks and Recreation (DMTIlur) • Residential areas (DMTIlur) • Park or Sports Field (DMTIprr) • Schools • Well-placed near schools and residential areas • Scenery of parks contributes to inviting atmosphere – also implies placement near watercourses and other natural features (given the constraints listed above)
Maximum Constraints • Restricted to small areas in very south or very north of York region • Placement in the south is ideal due to higher concentration of desirable features
Conclusions • Maximum constraints leave very few suitable areas, even more so considering desirable features • Aside from pre-existing libraries and recreation centres, placement in or near neighbourhoods of southern York Region may be more suitable than the north
