SECTION ONE
Planning Context
This section outlines the policy context of the plan as well as the interpretation, monitoring, review and
amendment of policies herein.
1-1 INTRODUCTION
The West Industrial Area Structure Plan (ASP) has been developed to provide a framework for future
development on lands generally located between 14 Avenue and Range Road 201A on the north and
between Highway 845 and Range Road 201A on the east as shown on Figure 1: Location Plan. The lands
were annexed to the Town in 2018. The annexation was to provide for a 25-year growth horizon to
accommodate future development within the Town.
1-2 PURPOSE
The West Industrial ASP is a statutory plan that provides a comprehensive development concept for the
lands within the plan area. As outlined in Section 633 (1) of the Municipal Government Act (MGA), ASPs
are developed "for the purpose of providing a framework for subsequent subdivision and development of
an area of land..."
The MGA empowers municipalities to shape their communities. It regulates how municipalities are funded
and how they should plan for growth. Per the MGA requirements, this ASP addresses the following:
-
Sequencing of development proposed for the area,
-
Proposed land uses,
-
Proposed density of population, and
-
General location of major transportation routes and public utilities
1-3 POLICY CONTEXT
Policies within this ASP are consistent with the following regulation, statutory plans and local bylaws:
Provincial Regulation
All development within this ASP is consistent with Provincial regulation, in particular the MGA and those
of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (AEPA).
2
Town of Coaldale
West Industrial ASP
South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP)
This ASP aligns with the SSRP, which establishes broad policies to guide responsible land management in
southern Alberta by promoting efficient land use, quality of life and response to community needs.
Town Plan
The lands within this ASP are designated as an "Area of Growth" in the Town Plan and the proposed
development aligns with key goals and objectives of the Town Plan by providing efficient and effective
development in an area proposed for industrial uses. Land uses proposed herein are consistent with the
Town Plan and are a logical extension to existing development. The block-based design and opportunities
for the future development of trail connections support opportunities for walkable access to employment.
The subject lands are identified within the context of the Town Plan on Figure 2: Context Plan.
Transportation Master Plan (TMP)
While vehicles remain the primary mode of transportation within the local network, the development
concept provides opportunities for future active mode connections throughout the Town, consistent with
TMP policies. Road standards are consistent with classifications identified in the TMP.
Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP)
The IMP is a strategic document focused on the current status of the Town's potable water, stormwater,
sanitary sewer, and streets and roads. The document provides direction with respect to anticipated
upgrades to sustain and increase levels of service and ensure long term maintenance.
Malloy Drain Master Drainage Plan
The Malloy Drainage Basin encompasses the Town of Coaldale and surrounding areas in Lethbridge
County where capacity restraints can result in significant flooding issues. The Malloy Drain Master
Drainage Plan was completed in 2010 and provides direction for stormwater requirements in this area.
Gateways and Corridors Strategic Plan
This ASP includes a portion of the Highway 845 Corridor. Development within this area will be consistent
with the design and implementation guidelines outlined in this document to ensure that the corridor is
well planned and maintained to provide a clean and attractive welcome to the Town of Coaldale.
Parks and Trails Master Plan
The Parks and Trails Master Plan provides a comprehensive plan to provide pedestrian and non-vehicular
connections throughout the Town, including a future trail adjacent to and through this plan area, linking
to the Birds of Prey. Policies have been included in this ASP to allow for future development of trails
connecting to the overall trail network.
Recreation Master Plan
The Recreation Master Plan identifies areas of park reserve suitable for future development. While specific
park areas have not been identified on the subject lands, the land use concept provides opportunities to
include connections to important destinations such as the Gem of the West and the Birds of Prey.
Land Use Bylaw
The Development Concept prepared for this ASP has been developed to reflect the regulatory parameters
of the Coaldale Land Use Bylaw (LUB). Land use categories shown on the Development Concept do not
signify land use districts specified in the LUB. Future development proposals within the areas currently
designated Urban Reserve District (UR) will require Land Use Amendment prior to development.

1-4 PLAN INTERPRETATION
Map Interpretation
Unless otherwise specified within this ASP, the boundaries or locations of any symbols or areas shown on
a map or illustration are approximate only, not absolute, and shall be interpreted as such. They are not
intended to define exact locations except where they coincide with clearly recognizable physical features
or fixed boundaries such as property lines or utility/road rights-of-way. Details shown on the maps will be
subject to further study at the development approval stage. No measurements or area calculations shall
be taken from the plan maps.
Policy Interpretation
Where "shall", "will" or "require" are used in a policy, the policy is considered mandatory in order to
achieve a desired result. Where "should" or "encourage(d)" is used in a policy it is anticipated that the
policies will be applied in all situations unless it can be clearly demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Development Authority, that the policy is not reasonable, practical and feasible in a given situation. Where
a policy requires compliance with the development concept, that requirement may be deferred to the
Subdivision Approval or Development Permit Approval stage at the discretion of the Development Authority.
Appendix Interpretation
Appendices included herein do not form part of the statutory portion of this ASP. The purpose of an
appendix is to provide information to further clarify the intent of plan policies.
1-5 MONITORING AND REVIEW
This ASP is a long-term policy document that promotes a vision for development and provides guiding
principles and policies that work towards achieving that vision over-time. The policies within this ASP will
be monitored and should be reviewed and updated every 10 years until such time as build-out of the plan
area is achieved. This ASP may also be amended in response to changes in the overall policy direction
within the Town or specific planning applications.
1-6 AMENDING THE ASP
If major changes with regards to land use, road networks or any other significant aspect of the plan are
contemplated, an amendment to the ASP, that includes a public hearing, shall be held in accordance with
the MGA. Minor changes will not require an amendment if, in the opinion of the Development Authority
and/or Council, the intent of the ASP is still achieved. Where an amendment to this ASP is requested by an
applicant, the applicant shall be required to submit the justification and information necessary to support
the amendment.
1-7 SUPPORTING STUDIES
Biophysical Impact Assessment (BIA)
The majority of the project area has been previously impacted by historic anthropogenic activities, which
substantially reduces the potential for adverse project related impacts to sensitive biota and other potential
environmental sensitivities generally associated with undeveloped sites. However, several potential
environmental sensitivities within the project study area were identified and should be considered during
project planning and development. This should include specific planning and mitigation to address potential
project related impacts to rescued and resident wildlife associated with the Alberta Birds of Prey Foundation
site. Assuming adherence to recommended mitigation strategies, it is anticipated that the majority of
anticipated project related impacts can be appropriately mitigated.
4
Town of Coaldale
West Industrial ASP
In the case of the Alberta Birds of Prey Foundation site, it is anticipated that potential project related impacts
will be substantially moderated by conditions relative to the site and nature of disturbance (e.g., no direct
sight lines, limited duration of disturbance, distance from receptor to disturbance, existing development
buffer between sites etc.). The potential for project related impacts will be further minimized through a
combination of engineering and operational mitigation strategies, including the use of erosion and sediment
control devices, dust control strategies and the development of project specific spill response and materials
management strategies. If feasible, the timing of construction to avoid sensitive seasonal timeframes
associated with the site should also be considered as an added measure to reduce potential indirect impacts.
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
The potential environmental risk on the Subject Property was generally rated as moderate, based on
the information reviewed and the historical use of the Property. The businesses surrounding the site
are light Industrial or agricultural land uses which generally carry moderate to low risk depending on
the nature of the business. Within the context of the Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, further
investigation of the site is not recommended based on the review of historical records, interviews, and
observation of site conditions at the time of site visit.
Historical Resources Act (HRA) Clearance
HRA approval has been granted for the activities described for the proposed development. Any
discovery of an historic resource during the development of the NW ASP shall notify the Heritage
Division of Alberta Culture. If previously unrecorded historic resources are discovered, proponents may
be ordered to undertake further salvage, preservative or protective measures or take any other actions
that the Minister of Alberta Culture considers necessary.
Wetland Identification and Delineation Assessment (WIDA)
Based on the results of the wetland inventory and assessment, no waterbodies or wetlands were
identified within the proposed Project development boundary. As such, development at the site is
not subject to approval requirements of the Alberta Water Act relative to specific conditions
pertaining to disturbance of wetlands.
1-8 LIMITATIONS
Policies within this ASP are not to be interpreted as an approval for a use on a specific site. Detailed site
conditions or constraints - including environmental considerations - must be assessed on a case-by-case basis
as part of an application for a Land Use Amendment, Subdivision, or a Development Permit.

SECTION TWO
Plan Area
This section highlights the existing conditions of the plan area and the opportunities and constraints as they
relate to future development.
2-1 AREA CONTEXT
The West Industrial ASP encompasses approximately 59.92 ha (148.06 ac), which are predominantly
agricultural. These lands are identified for future industrial growth within the Town Plan. Partially
developed industrial/commercial uses are located to the east and west of the plan area. The Gem of the
West Museum and the Birds of Prey are located to the south west and a mix of commercial and
residential, and undeveloped lands are located to the south.
A search of the Government of Alberta Spatial Information System, Spin 2, indicates the property contains
easements for buried phone cable, a transmission line, and a gas pipeline. Existing shallow and overhead
utility easements and alignments will be reviewed at the Outline Plan stage.
2-2 TOPOGRAPHY
The parcel is relatively flat, and generally drains towards the southeast part of the site, as shown on Figure
3: Topography. The land has been used for agricultural purposes and there are no significant slopes within
the parcel.
East of the plan area there is a significant ditch that runs north-south along the east side of 13 Street and
an existing stormwater management facility to the southeast.
2-3 CURRENT LAND USE
As shown on Figure 2: Context Plan, the lands within the plan area at the time of adoption are designated
Urban Reserve (UR) district, Highway Commercial (C-2) district and Industrial (I) district.
A single parcel in the southwest of the plan area is zoned light industry (I-2) district.
The land is designated UR district are intended to be subdivided and developed for urban uses in the
future, but are presently essentially agricultural or non-urbanized. Before development proceeds on the
UR parcels, approvals of Outline Plans and Land Use Redesignation applications will be required.

SECTION THREE
Development Concept
This section provides the overall Development Concept for the plan area, showing the general location of
land uses, community amenities and the road network.
3-1 VISION
The West Industrial area is a centre for primarily industrial uses, including some mixed-use commercial
uses adjacent to Highway 845. Development is integrated with environmentally and historically sensitive
areas and the area provides a sustainable business-ready environment, attracting investment and
providing employment opportunities.
3-2 GUIDING PRINCPLES
The following principles provide guidance on the nature of development within the plan area:
Sustainability
Infrastructure and servicing should be developed in an efficient
manner following sustainable best practices. Energy efficiency,
innovative development strategies and alternative servicing
options for new construction should be considered.
Environmental Stewardship
Natural areas should be protected from negative development
impacts. Innovative approaches such as green infrastructure, water
conservation and low impact development should be encouraged
for future development.
12
Town of Coaldale
West Industrial ASP
Long Term Stability
Commercial and industrial development should be
encouraged to provide opportunities for local
employment, support a healthy local economy and foster
a vibrant and diverse local economy where people want
to live, work and play.
Managed Growth
Planning should be put in place to establish appropriate policy
and processes to facilitate development and provide a
business-ready environment. Development should proceed in
an efficient and logical order.
3-3 CONSULTATION
The West Industrial ASP, (Bylaw 844-P-03-22) was prepared in consultation with plan area landowners,
stakeholders, the general public and Administration. Due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic
ongoing during the Plan's development, engagement opportunities were conducted virtually to protect
the safety and well-being of landowners, stakeholders and staff. The purpose of the engagement process
was to share the draft plan, respond to questions and gather feedback. Ideas and comments for this ASP
were gathered through direct communication with stakeholders and an online survey.
This feedback was used to establish a vision and guiding principles to inform the Development Concept
and policies within this ASP. Consultation milestones included:
-
Virtual Open House and Online Survey (December 2021 - January 2022). The Plan was shared online
with Council and key stakeholders to obtain feedback regarding challenges, opportunities, and an
overall vision for the Plan area.
-
Stakeholder Input (January 2022). Plan area landowners were contacted directly to gather feedback
on development priorities, a vision for the Plan, and any other opportunities and challenges
associated with the Plan area.
-
Virtual Engagement Session (January 2022). A live session was conducted on January 18, 2022 to
answer questions arising from the virtual open house and gather additional feedback from the
general public.
-
Let's Connect Coaldale (April 2022). Notice of the public hearing and opportunities to share feedback
and pose questions were posted online and social media.
-
Public Hearing (April 2022). A public hearing was held on April 25th to provide a final opportunity for
public comment on this ASP as part of the plan adoption process.
13
Town of Coaldale
West Industrial ASP
There was general support for the Plan including the proposed uses, the general layout and the
opportunities for additional employment. The following table summarizes the comments received and
how the input was incorporated into the design and policies of the ASP.
Table 1: Engagement Summary
What We Heard
How We Responded
Concerns were raised about the impact of the
proposed industrial development on adjacent
properties, airborne pollution and odor, noise,
traffic congestion and access.
The proposed uses are for light industrial
development which would not be a source of
pollution and nuisance factors. These types of
uses are prohibited within the Town and
regulated by other existing policy documents.
It was suggested that a green strip with
landscaping and trees be considered along the
west side of the plan area along Highway 845
as a gateway to the community.
A 10m green MR strip was incorporated along
the east side of Highway 845 and policies have
been included to ensure appropriate
landscaping.
There were questions about the type of mixed-
use commercial that are being proposed.
The mixed-use commercial component is
consistent with the land use direction provided
in the Town Plan and will be appropriate to the
Highway 845 corridor. A Land Use Amendment
will be required for subject parcels prior to
development.
There were concerns about access to the plan
area, possible traffic congestion and
emergency access issues as well as the
classification of road for 12 Avenue. It was
suggested that additional access to the area
from 10 Avenue, 11 Avenue or Range Road
201A be considered.
The transportation network was developed in
compliance with the Town Plan and the
Transportation Master Plan. ASP policies
require that a Traffic Impact Assessment be
provided as part of an Outline Plan application
to ensure adequate capacity and access to
support the proposed development.
It was suggested that team consider ways to
minimize potential nuisance between Station
Grounds and south edge of industrial
development.
Policies have been included to provide for
enhanced landscaping along the south
boundary of the ASP area where industrial
parcels back onto 14 Avenue.
There was a question about whether the plan
area paths would connect to the Birds of Prey.
Policies have been included in the ASP to allow
for future development of non-vehicular
routes to connect the area with other Town
destinations including the Birds of Prey, per
Parks and Trails Master Plan.
There were some concerns raised about the
location and configuration of the cul-de-sacs,
roadways and the stormwater pond inside of
the plan area and how they may negatively
impact the parcels of land and circulation
through the area.
There were minor revisions to the original road
network to reconfigure cul-de-sacs so they
function as dead-end streets that could be
converted to access points to peripheral
roadways if it were to become feasible to do
so. The road network and the location of the
stormpond are based on the Transportation
Master Plan, the Infrastructure Master Plan
and Malloy Master Drainage Plan.
14
Town of Coaldale
West Industrial ASP
Subsequent to the approval of the West Coaldale ASP in 2022, changes in ownership and evolving market
trends have created an opportunity to add vacant lands along the south boundary to ensure an orderly
and efficient framework for future development and update the Development Concept.
3-4 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Development Concept, shown in Figure 5: Development Concept, has been created by using input
gathered from the consultation process to prepare a design that respects the physical constraints within
the plan area. The block-based design provides an efficient road network with primary access from
Highway 845.
The grid layout shown in the development concept can be modified to accommodate smaller or larger
scale development and environmental constraints, and supports a variety of lotting scenarios and
flexibility to adapt to specific development requirements. The local road network may be revised without
an amendment to this ASP so long as adjacent landowners are not negatively impacted by the proposed
changes and revised alignments are consistent with Town standards.
A right-of -way to accommodate a rail spur line connecting to the south, has been incorporated into the
large block design and provides an opportunity for rail access.
3-5 LAND USES
Three primary land use areas have been identified within the Plan including:
-
Industrial. The Industrial area is intended to provide for industrial uses that have minimal to no impacts
on adjacent landowners in terms of operational nuisance. A wide range of lot sizes and configurations
can be accommodated within the area. Further subdivision or consolidation of parcels to accommodate
smaller or larger lotting may be permitted by extending or reducing the road network as long as key
connections are maintained.
-
Mixed Use Transition (Commercial/Industrial). Lands adjacent to Highway 845 are proposed to
accommodate mixed use (commercial and industrial) consistent with current development and the
proposed land uses in the Town Plan.
-
Open Space. An open space has been proposed within the natural drainage corridor along the
southeast portion of the plan area. This corridor preserves the natural area, accommodates future
stormwater facilities, and enhances overall walkability by providing valuable connections between the
key land use areas and existing development to the east and south. There is also provision for a 10-
metre green buffer along the west boundary. This provides for additional pedestrian connectivity and
landscaping to enhance functionality and visual aesthetics along Highway 845.
The uses above are a general indication for future land use and do not constitute land use approvals per
the Town's LUB. Prior to development, a Land Use Amendment will be required to comply with the LUB in
effect at that time. The following Land Use Statistics are based on the Development Concept and include
road areas:
