FAQs

An ASP is a planning document that provides a framework for the development of a specific area within a municipality. It outlines land uses, transportation networks, servicing infrastructure like water and sewers, environmental considerations, and development policies to guide orderly growth. An ASP is a statutory plan, which means it is approved and adopted by City Council with a bylaw. 

The area currently lacks a statutory plan and faces challenges such as fragmented land ownership, environmental concerns, and servicing gaps. The ASP will provide a coordinated vision and regulatory framework to support sustainable development and address these complexities.

The ASP process includes engagement with landowners, residents, and other interested parties to ensure their input is considered. The plan aims to balance development opportunities with community needs, environmental protection, and infrastructure capacity. The ASP will not affect current land uses until landowners choose to develop or redevelop. 

The ASP will identify appropriate land uses, which may include residential, commercial, light industrial, parks, and community facilities, based on technical studies and community input.

The project started in late 2025 with a target completion date of July 2026. It includes phases of analysis, draft plan development, engagement, and final approvals.

The City and consultant team will host public open houses and online engagement sessions, and will coordinate with landowners and Indigenous communities. Updates and opportunities for input will be posted on the City’s project website.

The ASP will include servicing plans and development phasing to ensure infrastructure is planned responsibly. Any changes to taxes or services will be managed through the City’s regular processes.

Once adopted by City Council, the ASP will guide future land use redesignations, subdivision approvals, and development permits in the area, ensuring development aligns with the plan’s vision and policies.
