SECTION ONE
Policy Context
This section outlines the purposed of the ASP and the local policy context.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Inspiration Area Structure Plan (ASP) is intended to provide a framework for future development on lands
within the Town of Pincher Creek; located south of Tumbleweed Avenue and west of current development on
Crocus Street as shown on Figure 1: Location Plan.
Inspiration fuels the process to create new things. It is the stimulus that stirs
motivation and action and leads to great accomplishments. The proposed
community of Inspiration is born from the creativity and positivity generated
from the natural environment and the enthusiasm to create something great!
1.2 PURPOSE
The Inspiration 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 to in alignment with statutory plans, local
bylaws, and relevant regulations including matters relating to reserves. 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.
This plan is intended to be a road map for the Inspiration Lands. It is anticipated that minor revisions to the plan
may be required over time. Modifications to this plan at the time of development should be supported where
the intent of the plan is not compromised.

1.3 POLICY CONTEXT
Policies within this ASP are consistent with the following relevant 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).
South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP)
The Alberta Land Use Framework provides a blueprint for land-use management and decision-making that
addresses Alberta's growth pressures. The Town of Pincher Creek is located within the geographical area of the
South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP). The SSRP lays out a number of key desired outcomes and strategic
directions relating to the region's economy, people, environment, and resources.
The Inspiration 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.
Municipal Development Plan
The MDP designates the ASP subject lands primarily as Residential and Parks and Open Space. The ASP aligns
with MDP Map 1, General Growth Direction and Future Land Uses and the key goals and objectives of the MDP
by providing efficient and effective development in an area proposed for residential development. Per Section
of the MDP: "Overall, residential development will continue to be directed to areas west of Highway 6 so as not
to conflict with commercial and industrial uses to the east of the highway. A mix of conventional residential and
higher density residential development will generally be directed to areas in the northwest portion of the
community as sewer and water services can be more easily accommodated in this portion of the community."
The ASP supports the following relevant MDP goals and policies:
Part 4, Section 3.0. MUNCIPAL, SCHOOL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICES RESERVE
Target
To establish guidelines for the allocation of municipal, school, environmental and community services reserve.
POLICIES
Policy 3.1 Municipal and/or school reserve will be provided in accordance with sections 666 and 667 of the
Municipal Government Act.
Municipal reserve will be provided per the MGA. A small portion of the existing MR parcel has been redistributed
elsewhere within the ASP as part of the open space network and added to the reserve dedication. This redistributed
reserve is in addition to the 10% reserve obligation for the subject lands. A formal Disposition of Reserve will be
required for the redistributed areas to accommodate the residential development.
Part 4, Section 4.0 GENERAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
TARGET
To identify appropriate areas for development and redevelopment based on infrastructure, site characteristics,
and compatibility with adjacent and existing uses.
POLICIES
Policy 4.1 Future urban growth and development in the Town should be directed to the areas identified in the
Future Land Use and Growth Directions Map (Map 1) as future growth areas if they are determined
to be suitable for development and can be serviced with municipal infrastructure.
Map 1 identifies this area as future residential development.
Policy 4.7 An area structure plan or conceptual design scheme may be required for any proposal involving:
(a) industrial development;
(b) large-scale commercial development;
(c) multi-lot residential development resulting in the creation of more than five lots or which has the potential
to trigger capacity upgrades or require expansion of infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, etc.); or
(d) as deemed necessary by Council.
4
Town of Pincher Creek
Inspiration ASP
An ASP is required per (c) above.
Policy 4.8 Area structure plans shall take into consideration the following:
(a) phasing of development;
(b) land uses proposed for the area;
(c) density of development;
(d) transportation patterns;
(e) ease of municipal servicing including logical expansion of infrastructure;
(f) linking open space with existing open space, parkways, walkways, and railways;
(g) stormwater management;
(h) compatibility with adjacent land uses;
(i) consistency with the Municipal Development Plan policies and other municipal or provincial plans,
policies, and regulations; and
(j) any other matter Council deems necessary.
The ASP addresses the items above.
Part 4, Section 5.0 RESIDENTIAL
TARGET
-
Encourage a variety of housing form and affordability that appeals to a broad section of people.
-
Create an attractive residential environment with strong aesthetic merit.
-
Promote proportional increases in multi-unit housing compared to other housing types.
-
Support the development of housing for people wishing to retire in Pincher Creek to take advantage of
proximity to wilderness amenities, fishing, camping, and quiet small-town atmosphere.
POLICIES
Policy 5.1 All future residential development:
(a) shall comply with the objectives of this plan and the current Land Use Bylaw;
(b) should be directed to the areas of the Town as identified in Map 1;
(c) shall be evaluated by the Council and/or the Municipal Development and Subdivision Authority.
The proposed development is primarily residential.
Policy 5.4 Developers are encouraged to design subdivisions that provide diversity in housing type, accessibility,
tenure, and cost.
Higher density and seniors housing is incorporated into the neighbourhood design. These sites will require a
Land Use Amendment concurrent with the ASP.
Policy 5.6 The Town shall, for the convenience and enjoyment of residents, emphasize the provision of parks,
playgrounds, space, and walkways for pedestrian traffic in new and established residential neighbourhoods.
A small portion of the existing MR parcel has been reconfigured within the ASP area to provide a comprehensive
open space network. Relocation of the MR parcel requires a disposition of reserve and will require a Land Use
Amendment for those portions of the parcel proposed for residential development.
Policy 5.10 The Town should consider the impact of a rising seniors population and attempt to accommodate
their housing needs.
The multi-unit residential site is anticipated to accommodate Seniors.
Part 4, Section 8.0 RECREATION, PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
TARGETS
-
To provide quality recreational facilities, parks and open space and pathways for the enjoyment of residents
and visitors alike.
-
Encourage linkages between open space, parks, schools, and pathways where feasible.
POLICIES
Policy 8.1 The Town should continue to encourage the commitment of residential developers to incorporate green
space, community parks, and connections to the existing pathway system into future developments. It is
also important to maintain landscaping minimums in future commercial and industrial developments.
5
Town of Pincher Creek
Inspiration ASP
A small portion of the existing MR parcel has been reconfigured within the ASP area to provide a comprehensive
open space network. Relocation of this area requires a disposition of reserve and will require a Land Use
Amendment for those portions of the MR parcel proposed for residential development.
Policy 8.2 Future recreational development should have regard to optimizing the use of land for social and
recreational facilities.
Active and passive recreational uses have been incorporated into the comprehensive open space network.
Part 4, Section 9.0 TRANSPORTATION
TARGET
To provide the residents and businesses of the Town with safe, efficient and effective municipal infrastructure
and transportation systems, which meet the present and future needs of the Town.
POLICIES
Policy 9.2 Residential street designs shall continue to employ a hierarchical road pattern, which provides local,
collector and arterial roadways to service the population.
The street network will be developed to Town standards to accommodate anticipated traffic volumes.
Policy 9.5 Major subdivisions and developments may be required to submit a Traffic Impact Assessment or other
analysis, as deemed necessary by the Town. Any upgrading identified by such studies shall be implemented
by the developer at its sole cost and to the satisfaction of the Town and Alberta Transportation.
Per discussions with the Town, given the proposed density, a TIA is not required.
Part 4, Section 10.0 MUNICIPAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES
TARGET
It is important to carefully consider the siting of all new development in terms of existing infrastructure, ease of
servicing and potential storm water drainage issues. Ideally, for a more effective and efficient process, a
comprehensive water management drainage plan should be developed in those areas targeted for expansion to
reduce costs of piece-mealing development.
POLICIES
Policy 10.5 All new development will be required to hook up to municipal water and
sewer unless demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Town that the proposed
use does not require municipal servicing.
Servicing will be provided to Town standards through connections to adjacent servicing connections and the
downstream stormwater conveyance system.
Policy 10.6 The Town supports low impact development practices as a sustainable means of stormwater
management.
Low impact development practices will be incorporated where feasible.
The subject lands are identified within the context of the MDP on Figure 2: Context Plan.
Land Use Bylaw
The Development Concept prepared for this ASP has been designed to reflect the regulatory parameters Land
Use Bylaw 1547 (the "LUB").
The subject parcels are currently zoned R1 (Residential) and POS (Parks and Open Space). The addition of
multiple-unit development or non-residential uses within the ASP will require a land use amendment to
accommodate higher density areas. A small portion of the existing POS parcel is anticipated to be relocated
within the greater ASP area and the planning process will include a Disposition of Reserve, including a Public
Hearing.

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. Minor revisions to the Development Concept will be permitted at time of development,
provided they are consistent with the intent of this ASP.
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 intent of the ASP is not compromised.
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. The ASP policies have been developed to provide for flexibility as the community evolves.
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, such as a change in use from residential to non-residential uses or densities which would trigger
greater road capacity, 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 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. Minor revisions to
ASP are expected over time and will not require an amendment to the ASP.

SECTION TWO
Plan Area
This section highlights the existing conditions within the plan area, the technical studies prepared to
understand the plan area better and support the ASP, and the opportunities and constraints as they relate
to future development.
2.1 AREA CONTEXT
The Inspiration ASP encompasses approximately 15.96 hectares. The lands are surrounded by existing
residential neighbourhoods and the area has been identified primarily for future residential growth.
2.2 CURRENT LAND USE
The lands within the plan area are designated as Residential (R1) and Parks and Open Space (POS) under the
LUB. Future development within the ASP area, will require a Land Use Amendment prior to development in
areas where proposed uses are not consistent with the existing designation.
2.3 TOPOGRAPHY
The parcel is located along the coulee edge north of Pincher Creek as shown in Figure 3: Topography. There
are significant slopes within the parcel and development areas are divided between a small area on the
lower lands in the Southwest corner and the larger development parcel on the upper bench lands to the
north of the escarpment.
The plan area is surrounded by residential areas of the Town of Pincher Creek. Most of the plan area appears to
be agricultural land use, and the portions at the top of and below the south slope are native grassland and the
riparian area of Pincher Creek.
2.4 LAND OWNERSHIP
The ASP area includes two parcels that are privately owned by 2536977 ALBERTA LTD. as well as a small portion
of an undeveloped Municipal Reserve parcel owned by the Town of Pincher Creek.
2.5 SUPPORTING STUDIES
The following studies were completed in support of the ASP. Policy content within the ASP has been prepared
to reflect the findings of these studies.

Town of Pincher Creek
Inspiration ASP
Stormwater Management Report
ISL prepared a Stormwater Management Report for the development which included our design criteria for the
entire development ensuring all phases align with the overall master planning.
The stormwater analysis was based on compliance with the Town of Pincher Creek Infrastructure Master Plan.
The scope and accuracy of the design and analysis for the study area was limited to the conditions considered
therein. The main findings and recommendations from this analysis included:
-
The development will have a dry pond located in the Municipal Reserve parcel adjacent to the site. The
Infrastructure Master Plan identified that developments control site release rates to 4.2 L/s/ha for all lands
within the Town of Pincher Creek. For the proposed development, the preliminary release rate is calculated
as 73.3 L/s.
-
SWMF for the site is estimated to contain runoff up to the 1:100-year storm event in the main facility.
There is a small section of roadway on the east side of the site that will have a separate storage facility that
will require approximately 200m3 of storage.
-
The development will require a storage volume of 5,582 m³ for the 1:100-year storm event.
-
Ensure that the Stormwater Management Facility (SWMF) is adequately sized to manage runoff up to the
1:100-year storm event, based on the conservative design storm modeling.
-
Integrate stormwater management facilities within the adjacent open space network, ensuring they serve
both functional and recreational purposes.
-
Follow Best Management Practices (BMPs) to enhance water quality and reduce the risk of flooding.
-
Minimize the transference of drainage issues from one location to another, ensuring that downstream
properties are not adversely affected by increased flow rates resulting from the development.
-
Ensure that the site does not restrict or redirect upstream runoff that would have otherwise naturally
flowed through the area.
Sanitary and Water Servicing Report
The design brief provides a comprehensive analysis of the servicing requirements and options for the proposed
development, which aims to create a sustainable and livable community in the area. The infrastructure and
servicing analysis was completed based on compliance with the Town of Pincher Creek Infrastructure Master
Plan. The scope and accuracy of the design and analysis for the study area was limited to the conditions
considered therein. The main findings and recommendations from this analysis included:
-
The water connection to service the development is proposed to connect to the existing watermains
underneath of Tumbleweed Avenue and Crocus Street.
-
The sanitary connection to service the development is proposed to connect to the existing sanitary
underneath of Tumbleweed Avenue.
-
Peak dry weather sanitary sewer flow leaving the proposed development is an estimated 6.79 L/s. The
development plans for the development involve utilizing an existing a 200 mm PVC sanitary sewer main to
the east of the site along Crocus Street, and an additional connection to an assumed 200 mm PVC sanitary
sewer main to the north along Tumbleweed Avenue. Peak wet weather sanitary sewer flow for the site is
an estimated 9.64 L/s, considering peaking factors and inflow and infiltration into the system. The existing
sanitary sewer system has been assessed as capable of handling the projected peak wet weather flows
from the development.
-
Water demand for the proposed development is an estimated 156 L/s, considering both single detached
and multi-unit residential needs for maximum daily demand and fire flows. The proposed development in
the area will be connected to an existing 300 mm PVC watermain to its north and a 200mm PVC watermain
to the east, which has been deemed sufficient in capacity and does not require immediate rehabilitation or
upgrades.
10
Town of Pincher Creek
Inspiration ASP
-
Both sanitary and water demands have been sized utilizing the Towns published demand rates. These rates
in ISL's experience are conservative relative to actual demands seen in many municipalities throughout
Western Canada. As a result, it should be noted that conveyance main sizes could be reduced in diameter
at time of detailed design.
Historical Resources
Historical Resources Act approval has been granted for the activities described in this application and its
attached plans/sketches subject to Section 31, "a person who discovers a historic resource in the course of
making an excavation for a purpose other than for the purpose of seeking historic resources shall forthwith
notify the Minister of the discovery".
Geotechnical Report
A geotechnical review of previous slope stability assessments was conducted by Tetra Tech Canada Ltd.
(originally EBA Engineering) in June 2023.
Based on the previous engineering review conducted on the slope stability assessments conducted in 1996 and
2004, and the site reconnaissance in 2013 for the subject development site, the recommendations contained in
those reports for the safe development setback lines established remain valid. It was noted that a minimum 15
meters from an escarpment and-or top of slope would be required, according to Bylaw No. 1547. The Tetra
Tech review indicated that a 6 m minimum setback line is technically appliable for the western area of the
property according to the nature of the slope stability.
The current conditions of the site were anticipated in 2004, in that it was expected over time that the head scarp
would regress to the defined top-of-bank and beyond; however, will not exceed the limits established by the setback
development line restriction. To this date, the regression has been minimal from that noted in 2004 and 2013.
Nothing was identified that would preclude the development as proposed. Grading, compaction excavations,
underground utilities, building construction, stormwater facilities and pavement construction will follow the
guidelines set out by the geotechnical investigations.
Environmental Review and Onsite Assessment
A Desktop Environmental Review was conducted to identify potentially sensitive biological and physical
features that may be impacted by the proposed development. ISL completed field assessments, no wetlands
were noted within the development.

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 Inspiration ASP area is intended to integrate with the existing community and provide a diverse range of
residential and recreational opportunities that will contribute to a healthy environment and a high quality of
life. In compliance with the goals and objectives of the MDP, the Plan area will accommodate a residential
neighbourhood that is well integrated with the existing neighbourhood and connected to adjacent institutional
and commercial amenities and through a network of trails and open spaces associated with the coulee area.
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 housing design, active transportation networks and alternative servicing options
for new construction should be considered.
Housing Diversity
A diversity of housing options is encouraged in order to respond to various market segments and meet the
needs of a variety of different income groups and lifestyles. While the predominant form of housing is
anticipated to be single detached dwellings, demands for alternative housing choices, including seniors'
housing, will arise as Pincher Creek continues to grow.
Connectivity
Vibrant neighbourhoods promote walking, cycling and convenient vehicular access to amenities and services.
Trails and pathways should be incorporated into the linear open space corridors to promote a healthy balance
of mobility choices. The provision of safe and convenient routes and access to services and amenities is a key
principle of sustainability and an important component of future development.

Town of Pincher Creek
Inspiration ASP
Flexibility
Market conditions and policy direction will evolve as the community grows and the ASP policies have been
developed to provide for flexibility as the community evolves. Revisions required to respond to these factors
should be supported without requiring an amendment to this ASP.
3.3 CONSULTATION
The Development Concept was prepared in consultation with Town Administration through pre-application
discussions and a review of the proposed design.
An Open House was conducted during the circulation period for the initial application to gather input from the
neighbouring residents and the public. Comments were evaluated in coordination with the agency comments
received during the circulation period and the development concept was revised to reflect the feedback
received, including the following:
-
Only a small portion of the existing MR parcel will be incorporated into the development area to
accommodate minimum lot depths and parcel configuration.
-
Flow-through traffic has been reduced to limit the impact of additional traffic to the adjacent
neighbourhood.
-
Development of the lower bench will be consistent with the existing zoning for single detached
residential units.
The public hearing for the plan occurred on August 25, 2025, in alignment with the MGA.
3.4 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
As noted above, the Development Concept, shown in Figure 4A: Development Concept, has been created using
input gathered from consultation with the Town to prepare a design that respects the physical constraints within
the plan area and supports existing Town goals and objectives. The road network connects to Tumbleweed
Avenue and no through access will be permitted via Crocus Street. No vehicular connection has been provided
from Foxborough Lane to the upper lands along the edge of the coulee.
The residential layout is intended to provide a variety of housing options on the upper lands including single
detached homes, townhouses, multiple-unit dwellings and seniors' accommodations. Dwellings have been located
to take advantage of views to the open space corridor and the internal park areas. Development of the lower
lands will accommodate single detached homes, consistent with the current land use district.
The road network provides a flexible design and minor changes to the local road layout will be allowed as the
development proceeds without requiring revisions to this ASP. This provides the opportunity to respond to market
demand and the Town's evolving needs without compromising the integrity of the plan.
Figure 4B: Development Setback Sketch illustrates the relationship between the Development Concept and the
Site Topography.
The road network has been designed to provide for pedestrian and cycle connections as shown on
Figure 5: Open Space and Pedestrian Network in section 4. Trails are provided along the top of the escarpment to
promote non-vehicular transportation options and convenient access to the parks and local amenities to the east
of the plan area.

3.5 LAND USES
Four primary areas have been identified within the Plan including:
-
Single Detached Residential. The plan accommodates primarily single detached residential uses. A
variety of lot sizes will accommodate various sizes and product type to respond to a range of
demographics and market demand.
-
Multi-Unit Residential. A 1.88 hectare area in the central portion of the plan is intended to provide
opportunities for multi-unit residential development at a maximum density of 75 units per hectare. The
development is intended to accommodate up to 141 units, which may provide an opportunity for seniors
housing within a portion of the development area. The multi-unit development will integrate with the
open space area along the east boundary of the site. Approximately 34 multi-unit dwellings in the form
of townhouses have been proposed along the main entry to the plan area to provide an alternate
housing choice.
-
Direct Control. A direct control parcel is proposed along the escarpment on the upper portion of the
development area. The parcel is currently designated R-1 Residential and is proposed to follow the rules
of the R-1 district with the addition of spa services as a permitted use.
-
Recreation/Open Space. The open space throughout the plan area, has been designed to accommodate
connections to the natural area within convenient walking distances for all residents. This open space
network provides meeting areas and aesthetic focal points and enhances overall walkability by providing
valuable connections within and beyond the ASP area. Where possible, portions of the environmentally
sensitive areas have been incorporated into the rear yards of development parcels as environmental
easements. On the east side of the plan, incorporating easements into private parcels would preclude
the opportunity to provide a trail along the top of bank, and in these areas, the environmentally sensitive
areas are proposed to be dedicated as Environmental Reserve (ER). Setbacks from the slope stability line,
ranging from 6m to over 15 m were established in the Geotechnical Evaluation and areas between the
top of bank and the slope stability line are proposed to be dedicated as either rear yards of residential
lots or as Municipal Reserve (MR).
The uses identified are a general indication for future land use and do not constitute land use approvals per the
Town's LUB. Modifications over time are expected as development progresses. A Land Use Amendment will be
required to comply with the LUB in areas of the plan that are not currently designated for the proposed use.
3.6 MUNICIPAL RESERVE (MR)
The ASP area encompasses three separate areas. Two of the parcels, Title No. 141 281 928+1, and
Title No. 141 281 928 are privately owned and will be required to provide 10% Municipal Reserve based on the
area of the parcels, less the Environmental Reserve and Environmental Easements.
The third area is the 0.27 ha portion of the existing POS parcel which is proposed as part of the residential
development to accommodate minimum lot depths and site configuration. The development concept has
redistributed this portion of the existing MR within the overall design for the ASP. The final plan area design will
provide 1.76 ha of dedicated Municipal reserve lands which satisfies the MR obligation. A formal Disposition of
Reserve and Land Use Redesignation will be required to redesignate 0.27 ha of the existing POS site to
accommodate the proposed residential development.
A calculation of MR owing and overall Land Use statistics are provided in the tables below:

SECTION SEVEN
Implementation
This section outlines the proposed sequence of development and the process required to proceed with future
planning applications.
7.1 SEQUENCE OF DEVELOPMENT
The general sequence of future development within this ASP has been determined in consideration of capacity
and constraints within the transportation and servicing framework. Phase 1 is proposed to accommodate
development of the upper lands and Phase 2 will accommodate the development of the lower lands. It is
anticipated that minor revisions to the plan may be required over time. Modifications to phasing at the time of
development should be supported where the intent of the plan is not compromised.
Policy 7.1.1
It is anticipated that development will generally proceed as shown on Figure 10: Sequence of
Development.
Policy 7.1.2
The sequence of development of the plan area:
-
shall be informed by patterns of growth management that consider infrastructure capacity,
servicing availability, environmental stewardship, and the topography of land; and
-
shall occur through a staged approach to ensure a logical expansion of development.
Policy 7.1.3
Variances to the proposed sequence of development may be permitted so long as an
acceptable strategy to provide the required infrastructure is justified to the satisfaction of the
Development Authority.
Policy 7.1.4
Prior to commencing the development of Phase 2, the applicant will provide additional layout
and servicing design details for the residential land use as required by the Town and prepared
in accordance with the municipality's specifications.
7.2 CIRCULATION AND COLLABORATION
Responsible development within the plan area entails decision making which is sensitive to existing adjacent
uses. Development applications, such as Land Use Redesignation Applications, will require engagement with
adjacent landowners.
Policy 7.2.1
Adjacent landowners, provincial agencies and other stakeholders shall be circulated on Land
Use Redesignation Applications per the LUB.
