Secondary plan review

Staff is beginning work to develop a secondary plan for the Hidden Valley neighbourhood. A secondary plan is included as part of the city’s Official Plan and helps to identify land uses for a particular area in order to ensure we’re building complete communities that include a mix of residential, commercial, employment, institutional, parks and other amenities that support a healthy quality of life. These uses are then encoded within the city’s zoning by-law which is a tool that also can identify where buildings can be placed on properties and how big they could be.

A public meeting was held on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 to provide an overview of the study area, what information is already known, what opportunities and limits exist, what’s included in the study and details on the process and timelines. There was also an opportunity for residents to ask questions and provide feedback on things like what they like about the area now, what’s missing from their neighbourhood, what information they want staff to consider when developing the plan and what ideas they may have about potential future development activity in the area.

This information may be used to help staff conduct further study into areas, shape where and how certain types of development take place, what limitations need to be considered and what areas should remain protected. It is expected that the permissions for the existing residential subdivisions in the Hidden Valley area will remain status quo; however, there are a few parcels of land - particularly along portions of the new River Road extension and Wabanaki Drive – that are being considered for different uses of the land than what was previously approved.

Additional information regarding this meeting can be found here:
   
   - Meeting invite
   - Information sheet
   - Display boards
   - Staff presentation
   - Comment form (please submit by July 30)

Your input at this stage will help with creating a draft new land use plan over the summer which is then expected to be discussed at a second meeting, tentatively scheduled for the first week of November. Council will be asked to consider the secondary plan sometime in 2019.
