INTRODUCTION AND ADMINISTRATION
1.1
Context
Encompassing approximately 854 acres of land, the community of Lido Plage within
the RM of Cartier has a population of approximately 525 people. Lido Plage is
located on the west bank of the Assiniboine River south of the settlement centre
of St. François Xavier and extends on both sides of PTH No.1 adjoining PR 424.
The Lido Plage area is characterized principally by a mix of large-lot residential
development ranging from 1/2 acre to 2+ acres (which is the predominant lot size)
and is currently serviced with municipal water and private wastewater management
systems that include holding tanks and septic fields. Due to its proximity to the City
of Winnipeg and with its attractive natural setting along the Assiniboine River, the
Lido Plage area is strategically located to accommodate some of the municipality's
future growth. The location of the Lido Plage Secondary Planning Area within the
RM of Cartier is illustrated in Figure 1.
Lido Plage could potentially accommodate limited additional growth and there
appears to be a demand for residential building lots in the area, however, there are
very few available lots for sale. This is in part due to continued concerns over septic
field impacts upon environmental quality, and issues with access to PTH No. 1. If
future development is to occur in the Lido Plage area, it should to transition away
from private wastewater management systems to a municipal wastewater system as
a more sustainable approach to development.
1.2
Purpose of this Secondary Plan
A Secondary Plan is a document created to guide growth and development within
a specific planning area such as Lido Plage. It includes policies and maps that
illustrate and define how a community will grow in terms of water and wastewater
infrastructure, land use, transportation, and parks and open spaces.
This Secondary Plan is intended to be consistent with, yet go beyond the planning
framework contained in the White Horse Plains Planning District Development Plan
by providing a comprehensive vision for how the area should develop now and into
the future. The purpose of this Secondary Plan is to ensure that new growth and
development within Lido Plage occurs in a logical and integrated manner, based on
the extension of municipal wastewater services to the area.

1.3
Planning and Policy Framework
Section 63(1) of The Planning Act makes provision for the RM of Cartier to adopt a
Secondary Plan to deal with objectives and issues within the Municipality, including
any matters:
a)
Dealt with in the Development Plan By-Law;
b)
Dealing with subdivision, design, road patterns, building standards
or other land use and development matters; or
c)
Respecting economic development or the enhancement or special
protection of heritage resources or sensitive lands.
Section 63(2) of The Planning Act notes that a Secondary Plan By-law must generally
be consistent with the Development Plan By-law, while Section 63(3) notes that the
adoption and hearing processes for a Secondary Plan are identical to those for a
Zoning By-law.
1.4
Interpreting this Secondary Plan
1.4.1
Interpreting Policy Text
Where the word "may" is included in a policy from this Secondary Plan, it is provided
as a guideline or a suggestion towards implementing the intent of the policy.
Where the word "should" is included in a policy from this Secondary Plan, it is
intended to apply to the majority of situations, however, it is understood that under
unique circumstances where compliance is impractical or impossible, an acceptable
alternate means that still meets the intent of the policy be considered instead.
Where the words "shall" or "must" are included in a policy from this Secondary
Plan, the policy is considered to be mandatory.
General policies contained within Section 4.0 of this Secondary Plan are applicable
to the entire Plan area, whereas the Land Use policies contained within Section 5.0
of this Secondary Plan are applicable to specific locations on the Policy Maps.
1.4.2

Policy Map
The Policy Maps illustrate land use types and locations in which the Secondary
Plan's policies generally apply. Minor adjustments to land use types and locations
illustrated on the Policy Maps may result from the development approval process
as detailed design information becomes available. Minor adjustments in land use
types or locations as determined by the detailed design and development approval
process do not require an amendment to this Secondary Plan, provided they, in
Council's opinion, meet the general intent of the Secondary Plan's objectives and
policies.
1.4.2.2
Reference Maps
Reference Maps provide contextual information or illustrations to help convey the
intent of the Secondary Plan.
locations and symbols are intended to be approximate, and should be considered
as such. These features are not intended to identify specific locations, except where
a boundary is located on an identifiable natural or human-made feature such as a
river or a roadway. There are two types of maps included in this Secondary Plan,
and they are described as follows:
1.5
Reviewing and Amending this Secondary Plan
This Secondary Plan should be reviewed as necessary to ensure it is consistent with
the White Horse Plains Planning District Development Plan and other supporting
plans for the RM of Cartier. If amendments to the Secondary Plan text or maps are
proposed, they must be approved by Council in accordance with the amendment
process established in The Planning Act (which follows the same procedures as the
amendment of a Zoning By-law).

BACKGROUND
The intent of this background section is to provide an up-to-date review of relevant
issues and trends affecting the RM of Cartier and specifically, the Lido Plage Area
within the municipality. A review of relevant background information is one of
the first steps toward forming a cohesive vision for crafting this Secondary Plan.
The information contained herein is the result of background research that was
informed by conversations with representatives from the RM of Cartier, as well as
government officials. It also incorporates the most up-to-date published information
from sources including Statistics Canada, the Province of Manitoba, Environment
Canada, and the RM of Cartier.
Throughout this background section, data from Statistics Canada for the RM of
Cartier Census Subdivision (CSD) is compared to other Census Subdivisions
including the RM's of Headingley, St. Francois Xavier, West St. Paul and St. Andrews,
as well as to the Winnipeg CSD and to the Province of Manitoba. Some comparisons
will also be made to Census Division (CD) No. 10 which includes the RM's of Cartier,
St. Francois Xavier, and Macdonald. Figure 2 illustrates both the RM of Cartier CSD
as well as CD No. 10.
As Lido Plage is currently a rural residential area, there is no specific census data
available from Statistics Canada. Accordingly, background information contained
herein will be based on the aforementioned information unless otherwise noted.
2.1
Municipal Profile
The RM of Cartier was incorporated in 1914 after being severed from a larger iteration
of the RM of St. François Xavier. The municipality is comprised of approximately 553
km2 or 136,649 acres, and is located approximately 20 km west of Winnipeg. The
Assiniboine River serves as the northern boundary of the RM, the RM of Portage La
Prairie as the western boundary and the RM's of MacDonald and Grey border to the
south. The RM of Cartier is bisected by both the Trans Canada Highway (PTH 1) and
Canadian National Railway.
The RM has four historically established settlement centres that include the LUD of
Elie, St. Eustache, and Springstein. In addition to these settlement centers, there
are several rural residential areas dispersed throughout the Municipality as well as
the Lido Plage area which is closest rural residential area to the City of Winnipeg.

2.2
Population Growth
Between 2006 and 2016, the population of the RM of Cartier CSD grew from 3,162
to 3,368; a change of 6.51% or an average 0.63% annually. This is less than the
provincial and Winnipeg CSD changes of 11.32% (1.08% annually) and 11.33%
(1.08% annually), respectively. Relative to some of its peers with similar populations
in the vicinity, the RM of Cartier generally experienced slower population growth.
Between 2006 and 2016,
-
the RM of Saint Francois Xavier grew by 29.81% or 2.64% annually,
-
the RM of Headingley grew by 31.29% or 2.76% annually, and
-
the RM of West St. Paul grew by 23.2% or 2.11% annually.
The RM of St. Andrews is a notable exception, which grew by 4.88% or 0.48%
annually. These statistics are described in Figure 3 below.

2.3
Capital Region Growth Dynamics
To supplement the population projections contained in Section 2.4, it is beneficial
to understand Lido Plage's growth potential within the context of growth projections
for the City of Winnipeg's census metropolitan area (CMA). The CMA includes the
City of Winnipeg and the municipalities of: West St. Paul, East St. Paul, Headingley,
Macdonald, Richot, Taché, Springfield, Rosser, St. Francois Xavier, St. Clements,
and Brokenhead First Nation. Although the RM of Cartier is not included as one
of the CMA municipalities, the Lido Plage area within the RM is located in closer
proximity to the City of Winnipeg than other locations within the CMA, and as such,
warrants consideration for a portion of the CMA's growth allocation potential.
According to the Conference Board of Canada, the Winnipeg CMA had a population
of 832,200 people in 2018. By 2023, the Conference Board of Canada forecasts that
the Winnipeg CMA will reach a population of 892,900, growing by 60,700 people.
Based on its proximity to the City of Winnipeg, Lido Plage is well positioned to
accommodate a portion of this growth should a supply of available building lots be
available.
2.4
Population Projections
Based on recent growth statistics for the RM of Cartier, the City of Winnipeg CMA,
and other factors, three growth scenarios were developed: Low (2.0% compounded
annually), Medium (3.0% compounded annually), and High (4.0% compounded
annually) as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Municipal Growth Comparisons from 2006 to 2016.
L I D O P L A G E S E C O N D A RY P L A N
8
Low Growth Scenario: This scenario is based on a simple linear extension of
past population trends in the RM of Cartier. Based on trends and other factors,
the low growth is estimated at 2.0% per year. Using this scenario, the RM of
Cartier's population would be projected to increase from 3,368 residents in 2015 to
approximately 5,526 residents by the end of 2041, which is an annual increase of
about 83 people.
Moderate Growth Scenario: This scenario also uses historic trends for the RM of
Cartier as a base, but assumes that the RM will experience more rapid expansion
by gaining a higher percentage of Capital Region growth, particularly in the Lido
Plage area. Based on these factors, the RM of Cartier's population could grow to
approximately 7,052 residents by the end of 2041. This represents a 3.0% annual
growth rate or an increase of approximately 142 people annually.
High Growth Scenario: This scenario also uses past growth trends as a base, but
presumes that the RM will experience more rapid economic growth through factors
such as more multi-family development (seniors housing etc.), higher migration/
immigration rates, and receiving a significant increase in the amount of Capital
Region development. Based on these factors, the population of the RM could grow
to approximately 8,979 residents by the end of 2041. This represents a 4.0% annual
growth rate or an increase of approximately 216 people annually.
2.5
Population Structure
The population structure (also known as an "age pyramid") for the RM of Cartier
CSD for the 2016 census year is illustrated in Figure 5. It shows peaks in population
in the 0 to 14 and 50 to 59 age groups, a pattern that is generally consistent with
trends observed throughout rural Manitoba.
The distribution of the sexes in the RM of Cartier was approximately equal for each
age group, with a difference of less than 1% of overall population.
The median age in the RM of Cartier CSD was 33.8 years in 2016, and the mean
was 35.4 years. This can be compared to Manitoba's slightly older population, with
a median age of 38.3 and mean age of 39.2.

2.6
Household Size and Composition
In 2016, the average number of persons per household in the RM of Cartier CSD was
2.6. This is very close to the provincial and Winnipeg CSD average, each reporting
2.5 persons per household.
Of all households in the RM of Cartier CSD in 2016, 77% were made up of single
families. Of those households made up of single families, 42% had children and 58%
did not. In the RM of Cartier, only 1% of households were characterized as having
more than one family (two families living together), while 21% were characterized
as 'non-family' - that is, consisting of one individual or more than one individual
L I D O P L A G E S E C O N D A RY P L A N
10
living as roommates. By comparison, there are fewer one-family households in
the Winnipeg CSD (63%) and the province (66%) and relatively more non-family
households (35% and 32%, respectively). These statistics are further described in
Figure 6.
Figure 6. RM of Cartier (CSD) Household Composition (2016).
2.7
Household Income
At the end of 2015, median household income in the RM of Cartier CSD was
$87,142. This is higher than in the Winnipeg CSD and the province overall, each
reporting a median household income of $68,402 and $68,147, respectively.
The RM of Cartier CSD experienced a median household income growth of 1.9%
nominally between 2010 and 2015. This is significantly less than the income growth
reported in the Winnipeg CSD and in the province overall, at 15.3% and 15.9%,
respectively. According to the Bank of Canada, over the course of the five years
between census reporting periods, the average annual inflation rate was 1.33% or
6.8% overall. As such, household incomes in the RM of Cartier CSD fell by 4.6%
in real (inflation-adjusted) terms between 2010 and 2015, while they rose in the
Winnipeg CSD and province overall by 8.0% and 8.5%, respectively as illustrated
in Figure 7.

Figure 7. RM of Cartier CSD Median Household Income from 2010 to 2015.
2.8
Household Size and Composition
The sampled population of individuals of working age (15 and older) in the RM of
Cartier CSD was 1,715 in 2016.1 Of those, 1,240 were participating in the labour
force (72.3%), wherein 1,185 were employed and 55 were unemployed. This yields
an unemployment rate of 4.4% in the RM of Cartier CSD, which is lower than that
of the Winnipeg CSD and province overall, each reporting unemployment rates of
6.5% and 6.7%, respectively.
Reported census data for 'Individuals of Working Age by Labour Force Participation' is based on a 25% sample
and deviates significantly from reported Age Characteristics data for the same segment of the population.

L I D O P L A G E S E C O N D A RY P L A N
12
Consistent with employment trends in the Winnipeg CSD and province overall, the
RM of Cartier CSD labour force participation and employment as a share of overall
population has declined since 2011. This change is likely due to demographic shifts
related to an aging working population, as the baby boomer generation retires or
otherwise exits the labour force. With that said, the unemployment rate in the RM
of Cartier CSD has also declined from 5.8% to 4.4%, a trend not experienced in the
Winnipeg CSD and province overall. This suggests that although there are fewer
individuals in the labour force overall, the population of the RM of Cartier CSD been
more successful in finding employment relative to the Winnipeg CSD and province
overall.

2.9
Occupation
The 2016 labour force of the RM of Cartier CSD was distributed into a variety
of occupations. At 20.6%, 'Management' was the most prominent occupation,
followed by 'Education; Law and Social; Community and Government Services'
(14.9%), 'Sales and Service' (14.9%), 'Trades; Transport and Equipment Operators
B A C K G R O U N D
13
and Related' (14.5%), and 'Business; Finance and Administrative (12.9%). The least
populous occupations included those in 'Art; Culture; Recreation and Sport' (1.6%)
and 'Manufacturing and Utilities' (2.0%). The remaining 18.5% of occupations in
the RM of Cartier CSD were divided among 'Natural and Applied Sciences and
Related', 'Health', 'Natural Resources; Agriculture and Related Production', and
'Other'.

Industry
In 2012, approximately 52% of the labour force of the RM of Cartier CSD participated
in its top 5 industries, which included 'Construction' (12.1%), 'Real Estate and
Rental and Leasing' (11.3%), 'Management of Companies and Enterprises' (10.1%),
'Retail Trade' (9.7%), Manufacturing (8.9%). The smallest labour force participation
occurred in 'Wholesale Trade' (0.8%), Agriculture; Forestry; Fishing and Hunting'
(2.4%), 'Accommodation and Food Services' (2.4%), and "Information and Cultural
Industries' (2.4%). There was no reported labour force participation in 'Finance and
Insurance', 'Other Services (except public administration)', 'Public Administration',
or 'Healthcare and Social Assistance' industries.

Dwellings
The RM of Cartier CSD reported 815 dwelling units in 2016, 93.9% of which were
single-detached homes. 3.7% (or 30 units) were apartments in a building that has
fewer than five storeys, 1.2% (or 10 units) were classified as "other single-attached",
and both 'semi-detached' and 'apartments in a duplex' classifications reported 0.6%
(or 5 units each) of all dwellings. In terms of household tenure, 85% of dwellings
were owned and 15% were rented. The above dwelling statistics are described in
Figure 11.
Figure 11. RM of Cartier CSD Dwellings by Household Structure Type (2016).
2.12
Commuting Destination
In 2016, 69% of the commuters in the RM of Cartier CSD reported leaving their local
census division to get to work. 25% stayed in the same census subdivision, and 6%
left the census subdivision but stayed in the same census division. This suggests
that the vast majority (75%) of local residents left for other employment centres
for work than are located in the RM of Cartier CSD. Labour Force Commuting
Destinations are illustrated in Figure 12.

16
Figure 12. RM of Cartier CSD Labour Force Community Destination (2016).
Using the census-derived measures of commuting time for 2016, it's possible to
estimate the most likely commuting designation for these commuters. Figure 13 is a
simulated road network travel time map for trips originating at any of St. Eustache,
Bénard, Elie, Dacotah, or Springstein. 51% of all commuting trips took between 15
and 45 minutes from origin to destination, while 24% took less than 15 minutes.
Recalling that 75% of all trips left the RM of Cartier, it can be assumed that most
were bound for either Headingley or Winnipeg to the east, or Portage la Prairie to
the west given the labour-market prominence of these areas when compared to
other potential destinations.

Existing Policy and Regulatory Context
The Planning Act allows Planning Districts and Municipalities to prepare and
adopt a Development Plan. A Development Plan is a policy document that sets a
community vision and provides objectives and policies for how land should be used.
By providing direction for community development initiatives, a Development Plan
addresses such issues as:
-
Where new housing, agriculture, industry, recreational areas, shopping
areas and other land uses should be located;
-
What municipal services such as roads and schools will be needed; and,
-
When, and in what order, parts of the community will grow.

White Horse Plains Planning District Development Plan
L I D O P L A G E S E C O N D A RY P L A N

The RM's of Cartier and St. Francois Xavier are members of the White Horse Plains
Planning District (WHPPD). The WHPPD Development Plan was approved in 2016.
It deals with such matters as overall community goals, urban areas, rural areas,
Secondary Planning Areas, and contains a variety of general policies related to
transportation, recreation and open space, infrastructure, flooding and historic
resources. The following provides a brief description of the designations from the
WHPPD Development Plan that are applicable to the Lido Plage area:
Rural Centre Policy Areas
The majority of the Lido Plage area is designated as a Rural Centre Policy Area in
the White Horse Plains Planning District Development Plan (as illustrated in purple
on the Development Plan Map shown in Figure 17), with the balance designated as
Business Policy Area.
According to the WHPPD Development Plan, the "Rural Centre Policy Areas provide
opportunities for people to live in a rural setting in close proximity to urban centres
and amenities. Unlike Rural Residential Policy Areas, Rural Centres are intended
to be developed with municipal services including water and wastewater sewer.
There are two designated Rural Centre Policy Areas in the Planning District. The first
is located at Springstein, and the second encompasses the Lido Plage area. The
Rural Centre Policy Area at Springstein is already serviced by Municipal water and
wastewater services. Rural Centre Policy Areas are intended to be predominantly
residential in character, however opportunities may exist for some commercial and
institutional uses to serve the needs of local residents." (p.34)
Arrows on the Development Plan Map illustrate the direction of future growth if an
expansion to the Lido Plage Rural Centre Policy Area were to be considered in the
future by the Planning District Board. An expansion to this area would have to be
approved by the Minister of Manitoba Municipal Relations.
Business Policy Areas
A portion of the Lido Plage area is also designated as Business Policy Area (as
illustrated in red on the Development Plan Map shown in Figure 14). The Business
Policy Area provides employment and opportunities for economic development
within the rural areas of the Planning District by accommodating general commercial
and industrial as well as agri-commercial/industrial, highway commercial and related
land uses in appropriate rural settings.

RM of Cartier Zoning By-law
While the WHPPD Development Plan provides the overall framework to guide future
development, the RM of Cartier Zoning By-law is used to implement the objectives
and policies of the Development Plan. A Zoning By-law divides a community into
various land use districts (e.g. residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, etc.)
and states in specific terms what land uses may be allowed and provides information
such as standards for lot sizes, building heights and setbacks from streets. This is
to ensure that specific types of land uses are located in appropriate areas and
that the type of buildings or land uses on one property will not negatively affect
surrounding properties. Figure 18 illustrates current zoning for the Lido Plage Area.
Once a municipal wastewater system has been extended into the Lido Plage area,
other zones that allow for serviced development from the RM of Cartier Zoning By-
law could be considered. Applying new zones within the Lido Plage area would be
subject to a public hearing and Council approval.

Infrastructure Review
2.14.1
Water
Potable water in the RM of Cartier is supplied by the Cartier Regional Water Coop
and is distributed within the Municipality to the communities of Elie, Ste. Eustache,
Springstein, Dacotah, and to the Lido Plage area. The Cartier Regional Water Coop
also supplies potable water to the RM's of Portage la Prairie, St. François Xavier,
Headingley, Grey, Rockwood, Rosser, and West St. Paul.
B A C K G R O U N D
21
2.14.2
Wastewater
Wastewater services in the RM of Cartier vary between communities. Both St.
Eustache and Springstein are serviced with low pressure wastewater sewers, while
Elie is serviced with both low pressure and gravity wastewater sewers. The Lido
Plage area is currently serviced with private wastewater systems such as septic fields
and holding tanks. As part of this Secondary Plan project, Stantec Engineering is
undertaking an assessment of providing a municipal wastewater sewer system to
the Lido Plage area, extending services from the RM of Headingley that is located
to the east of the Secondary Planning Area.
2.14.3
Solid Waste
Solid waste is collected privately in the RM of Cartier and disposed of at the RM
of Cartier's landfill facility located on Dugas Siding Road. Solid waste from the
Lido Plage area is brought to this facility. There are also recycling bins located
throughout the municipality, including a drop off location in the Lido Plage area.
2.14.4
Road Network
Lido Plage is located within a road network that includes a Provincial Trunk Highway
(PTH), two Provincial Roads (PR's), and a variety of collector and local streets. The
main roads within this network are briefly described as follows and illustrated in
Figure 16:
PTH No. 1
PTH No. 1 or the TransCanada Highway is a paved divided expressway that bisects
the Lido Plage area running east/west through the RM of Cartier.
PR 424
PR 424 is a two-lane gravel road that provides access to both the northern and
southern portions of Lido Plage. PR 424 intersects with PTH No. 1 and is the main
access road for local streets located in the northern portion of the Lido Plage area
including Nicola Place, Ferry Road, River Bend Way, and Lido Plage Road North.
L I D O P L A G E S E C O N D A RY P L A N
22
Lido Plage Road North
Lido Plage Road North is a two-lane gravel road located to the north of PTH No. 1.
It provides access to PR 424 in the northern portion of the Lido Plage area. Direct
access to PTH No. 1 from Lido Plage Road North is anticipated to be removed as
highway upgrades continue to occur.
Lido Plage Road South
Lido Plage Road South is a two-lane paved collector road that intersects with PR
424 south of PTH No. 1. The majority of dwellings located in the southern portion
of the Lido Plage area front onto Lido Plage Road South. Two local streets including
Vrel Drive and Robidoux Road are accessed from Lido Plage Road South.

Development Opportunities
The following opportunities have been identified related to future development in
the Secondary Planning Area:
-
Opportunity to provide a limited range of housing types and lots sizes to
address the lifecycle of the RM of Cartier's residents.
-
Opportunity to allow development on undeveloped parcels, particularly
those located to the north of PTH No. 1.
-
Opportunity to allow for limited infill which can help to equitably disperse
the installation costs of municipal wastewater services to the area.
-
Opportunity to expand the Municipality's tax base, which in turn, may
increase the level of service and amenities available to residents in the Lido
Plage area.
-
Opportunity to enhance the environmental quality and sustainability of the
Lido Plage area through the provision of municipal wastewater services and
the decommissioning of septic fields and holding tanks.
2.16
Development Constraints
The following constraints have been identified related to future development in the
Secondary Planning Area:
-
Opposition to a municipal sewer system as exiting private septic systems
may be functioning properly.
-
Cost of extending municipal services to the Lido Plage area if this type of
infrastructure is not jointly funded through provincial or federal grants.
-
Resistance to change from existing residents who may be satisfied with the
area as it currently exists.
-
Many existing dwellings are located near the centre of their lot, precluding
infill development from occurring.
-
Although flood protection infrastructure such as diking has been upgraded
in the majority of the Lido Plage area, there are still flooding risks, particularly
for lands to the north of PTH No. 1 within the Secondary Planning Area.
-
Safely accessing the Secondary Planning Area at the intersection of PTH
No. 1 and PR 424 continues to be a constraint due to traffic volumes from
both passenger vehicles and tractor trailers.

PLANNING PROCESS
3.1
Community Workshop
On May 7th, 2019, the RM of Cartier hosted a community workshop at Camp
Assiniboia to introduce the project to Lido Plage residents and land owners. The
purpose of this workshop was to:
-
Introduce the project to the community.
-
Generate ideas about development, land use, goals, and objectives for the
Secondary Planning Area.
-
Understand issues and concerns.
-
Validate preliminary background findings.
-
Discuss potential land uses and how they will be integrated into the
community.
-
Establish short and long-term priorities, as well as a community vision for
the Secondary Planning Area.
Approximately 50 people attended the workshop that began with a brief presentation
about the project. Following the presentation, workshop attendees formed groups
of approximately 6 to 8 people to answer a series of questions about land use and
development in the Lido Plage area. Answers to the questions from each group
were reviewed together with all the workshop attendees.
A mix of often differing key points gleaned from the workshop included:
-
No lots less than 2 acres in existing rural residential areas should be allowed.
-
No subdivision of existing 2 acre lots.
-
1 acre lots would be acceptable.
-
Subdivision of existing 2 acre lots to create two 1 acre lots would be
acceptable.
-
Smaller serviced lots acceptable, but in specific areas (greenfield preferred).
-
Multi-family acceptable, but in greenfield areas or north of PTH no. 1.
-
More sidewalks, paths, trails would be appreciated in the area.
-
High speed internet service should be extended to the area.
-
Boat access or a launch would be a good amenity in the area.
-
Better maintenance of existing infrastructure is required.

Community Survey
A community survey was prepared and made available online to Lido Plage
residents between October 1st and October 31st 2019. To inform the community
about the survey, an invite to participate was mailed to every household in the Lido
Plage area. Of the approximately 200 residences in the Lido Plage area a total of 33
responses were received which is a response rate of over 16%. Demographic and
specific information about those that responded based on survey input included:
-
The majority survey respondents had lived in Lido Plage over 25 years (10
survey responses)
-
The majority survey respondents moved to Lido Plage from the City of
Winnipeg (15 survey responses)
-
Survey respondents moved to Lido Plage as it was "rural" but still close
to the City (8 survey responses), the area has large buildings lots (8 survey
responses), and they enjoy the areas "peace and quiet" (8 survey responses)
-
The majority of survey respondents had 4 people in their household (12
survey responses), followed by 2 people in their household (10 survey
responses)
-
The majority of survey respondents were aged 45-55 (9 survey responses),
followed by those aged 35-44 (8 respondents)
-
A mix of often differing key points gleaned from the survey included:
-
Paved roads, wastewater sewer and more walking paths or trails would
make Lido Plage a better place to live.
-
Single-family residential should be the primary use in the area.
-
New single-family residential lots in the Lido Plage area should be a
minimum of 1 acre in size.
-
Multi-family development should not be considered in the Lido Plage Area.
-
Multi-family including 55+ condos would be acceptable in the Lido Plage
Area.
-
Lido Plage should remain primarily residential, there isn't a need for
employment opportunities in the area.

3.3
Community Open House
On November 27th, 2019, the RM of Cartier hosted an Open House to present a draft
of this Secondary Plan as well as information on the wastewater sewer project to the
community. A key component of the Open House were poster boards that provided
background information about both the planning and engineering components of
the project. Approximately 70 people attended the Open House and provided
input through conversations with planners from Landmark Planning & Design and
engineers from Stantec Engineering as well as through comment sheets.
-
Key information gleaned from the comment sheets included:
-
New lots within the Lido Plage area should not be less than 1 acre in size
-
The majority of those who submitted a comment sheet were in favour of a
municipal wastewater sewer system
-
Concerns about a municipal wastewater sewer system related to overall
cost and how it would be split amongst properties in the area, whether or
not other levels of government funding would be available, and the fact
that many septic systems are functioning fine at this time.
-
The information gathered from the overall planning process was presented
to Council and informed the General Planning Policies contained in Section
4.0, and Land Use Policy Area Policies contained in Section 5.0 of this
Secondary Plan.

GENERAL PLANNING POLICIES
This Part provides overarching objectives and policies for the entire Lido Plage
Secondary Planning Area. In addition to the policy provisions contained within
Section 5.0 of this Plan, the following general objectives and policies shall be
reviewed with respect to all proposed development.
4.1
Transportation and Active Transportation
Lido Plage is located on both sides of PTH No. 1 which serves as the primary
roadway for accessing the area as well as other locations in the RM of Cartier. PR 424
intersects with PTH No. 1 and it is this intersection that accommodates the majority
of vehicles coming and going from the Lido Plage area. Future development in the
Residential Mixed-Use Policy Area and Commercial Mixed-Use Policy Area north of
PTH No. 1 will connect to the existing road network from Lido Plage Road North.
Future multiple lot development within the Residential Serviced Policy Area south
of PTH No. 1 will access the existing road network from Lido Plage Road South.
4.1.1
Objectives
4.1.1.1
To create an efficient and safe transportation network for motorized and
non-motorized modes of transportation within the Lido Plage area.
4.1.1.2
To emphasize active transportation as the mode of choice for local trips
throughout Lido Plage.
4.1.1.3
To protect PTH No. 1 and PR 424 from incompatible development
recognizing that these roadways may be upgraded or re-aligned at a
future date.
4.1.2
Policies
Local Streets
4.1.2.1
New local streets within the Secondary Planning Area should support
multi-modal transportation, including both vehicular and active

access points to PTH No. 1 and PR 424.
4.1.2.4
Access onto PTH No. 1 will be through strategically located intersections,
and existing access points may be removed at the discretion of Manitoba
Infrastructure.
4.1.2.5
Intersection improvements may be required to accommodate future
development in the Lido Plage area.
Active Transportation
4.1.2.6
New development within the Secondary Planning Area should be
designed with an integrated network of pathways, trails and greenspace
areas. Wherever possible, trails and pathways should connect to existing
active transportation infrastructure such as the Grand Trunk Trail.
4.1.2.7
Although permitted, Manitoba Infrastructure does not recommend
nor encourage the use of a Provincial Highway shoulder for active
transportation uses.
4.2
Flooding and Hazard Lands
Development within the Lido Plage area is generally located immediately
adjacent or in close proximity to the south side of the Assiniboine River. Many
flood protection dikes within the area have been upgraded to mitigate flood risks,
however, development should not be located within areas that continue to have
flood risks or development constraints such as bank instability.
4.2.1
Objectives
4.2.1.1
To protect development from flooding, erosion or other hazards that
may be present based on the area's proximity to the Assiniboine River.
4.2.1.2
To restrict development in areas that have known development
constraints.

4.2.2.2
Map 1 illustrates specific areas that are known to be sensitive or flood
prone. There may be other sensitive or flood prone areas that have
not been illustrated on Maps 1 or 2. Development in areas that are
sensitive or flood prone would be subject to engineering studies and
flood protection measures being implemented to ensure risks have
been addressed.
4.2.2.3
Development applications for lands located along the Assiniboine River
may be required to dedicate land subject to flooding or erosion as
Public or Crown Reserve at the discretion of Council.
4.2.2.4
All development within the Lido Plage area shall comply with the
provisions of the RM of Cartier's Zoning By-law.
4.3
Municipal Services and Infrastructure
The Lido Plage area is currently serviced with potable water from the Cartier
Regional Water Coop. Wastewater is handled privately on a property by property
basis via holding tank or septic field. Directly related to this Secondary Plan is the
extension of a municipal wastewater sewer system to the Lido Plage area. Until
this municipal wastewater sewer system is installed, development and subdivision
will be only be considered based on the policy provisions of the Whitehorse Plains
Planning District Development Plan.
4.3.1
Objectives
4.3.1.1
To provide environmentally friendly and sustainable municipal services
to the Secondary Planning Area.

4.3.2.1
New development within the Secondary Planning Area shall be serviced
with municipal infrastructure including piped municipal water and a
wastewater sewer system.
4.3.2.2
Notwithstanding Policy 4.3.2.1 above, new development may occur prior
to the wastewater sewer system being installed subject to the provisions
of Part 3 of the White Horse Plains Planning District Development Plan,
and subject to a development proponent entering into a development
or servicing agreement with the Municipality. New lots created should
allow for the efficient extension of the municipal wastewater sewer
system, and dwellings should be cited to allow for efficient connection
to this system.
4.3.2.3
Existing rural residential properties within the Secondary Planning
Area may continue to use existing private wastewater systems until a
wastewater sewer system is extended to this area in compliance with
applicable Municipal and Provincial regulations.
Drainage and Water Retention
4.3.2.4
Drainage for new development within the Secondary Planning Area
will be designed and constructed to restrict surface water discharge to
pre-development flows in accordance with applicable Municipal and
Provincial regulations.
4.3.2.5

Municipal standard.
4.3.2.6
Subject to Council approval, the surface land drainage network may be
incorporated into greenspace and the recreation open space network
within the Secondary Planning Area.
4.3.2.7
Permission is required from Manitoba Infrastructure to drain any water
into the highway drainage system. Manitoba Infrastructure prefers to see
no increase in storm flows in the highway ditch system. However, if this is
unavoidable, the cost of any revisions required to the existing highway
drainage system, which are directly associated with the development,
will be the responsibility of the developer.

LAND USE AREA PLANNING POLICIES
This Part provides objectives and policies to guide land use and development
within the identified Policy Areas of this Secondary Plan. The objectives and policies
contained within this Part are supported by the maps contained in Section 7.0 of
this Secondary Plan.
5.1
Residential Estate Policy Area
The majority of the Lido Plage area is comprised of existing rural residential
development that is serviced with private wastewater systems, and accordingly,
these lots are typically at least 2 acres in size. Most existing dwellings within these
areas have been constructed in the middle of their respective lots making infill
development difficult, however, there are several infill opportunities that could be
pursued once municipal wastewater services are installed.
The Residential Estate Policy Area is intended to maintain the existing character of
existing residential areas while allowing for limited large lot infill development to
occur. Potential infill lots should be at least 1 acre in size, and shall be subject to
subdivision, re-zoning, and a public hearing.
5.1.1
Objectives
5.1.1.1
To maintain the existing character of established residential areas within
the Lido Plage area, while allowing for limited infill where appropriate,
generally once municipal wastewater sewers have been installed.
5.1.1.2
To ensure new infill residential development in compatible with existing
residential development.
5.1.2
Policies
Existing Large Lot Residential
5.1.2.1
Existing rural residential properties should be maintained as large lot
estate properties once the Secondary Planning Area is serviced with
a municipal sewer system. Low density single-family residences shall
continue to be the predominant land use within the Residential Estate
Policy Area.
L I D O P L A G E S E C O N D A RY P L A N
34
Infill Single-Family Residential Development
5.1.2.2
Infill single-family development may be possible within the Residential
Estate Policy Area. New lots created should be at least 1 acre in size, and
will be subject to wastewater sewer services being installed, subdivision,
re-zoning, and a public hearing. If new infill lots are proposed prior to
wastewater sewer services being installed, they would be subject to
Policy 4.3.2.2.
Flag Shaped Lots
5.1.2.3
Flag shaped lots are generally discouraged within the Residential Estate
Policy Area and shall be addressed at the time of subdivision on a case
by case basis.
Home Occupations
5.1.2.4
Home occupations shall generally be supported within the Residential
Estate Policy Area, subject to compliance with the Zoning By-law.
Secondary Suites
5.1.2.5
Secondary suites shall generally be supported within the Residential
Estate Policy Area, subject to compliance with the Zoning By-law.
Development Application Requirements
5.1.2.6
Applications to create new single-family residential lots may be required
to submit the following related to a development application:
a)
A concept plan that illustrates residential lotting and how the
subject application will interact with existing and future uses on
adjacent lands;

f)
Any other requirements as per Provincial regulation or any other
conditions Council deems necessary.
5.2
Residential Serviced Policy Area
There are several undeveloped parcels within the Lido Plage area that could
accommodate multiple lot single-family residential development provided specific
site constraints are addressed. These areas are typically located adjacent to existing
residential estate development within the Lido Plage area and as such, new
residential lots should be approximately 1 acre in size to maintain a rural residential
character.
5.2.1
Objectives
5.2.1.1
To provide opportunities for new serviced single-family multi-lot
development to occur adjacent to existing residential development
within the Lido Plage area.
5.2.1.2
To ensure new residential development is well planned and compatible
with adjacent existing residential uses.
5.2.2
Objectives
Single-Family Residential Development
5.2.2.1
New single-family residential lots in the Residential Serviced Policy
Area shall be at least 1 acre in size, and will be subject to wastewater
services being installed, subdivision, re-zoning, and a public hearing.
Single-family residences shall be the predominant land use within the
Residential Serviced Policy Area. If new lots are proposed prior to

Home occupations shall generally be supported within the Residential
Serviced Policy Area, subject to compliance with the Zoning By-law.
Secondary Suites
5.2.2.5
Secondary suites shall generally be supported within the Residential
Serviced Policy Area, subject to compliance with the Zoning By-law.
Active Transportation Connections
5.2.2.6
A network of pathways, trails and sidewalks shall be used to create
pedestrian connections within new residential developments. This
network should connect with existing active transportation infrastructure
whenever possible.
Development Application Requirements
5.2.2.7
Applications to create new multi-lot residential development may be
required to submit the following related to a development application:
a)
A concept plan that illustrates residential lotting, parks and
recreation areas and how the subject application will interact with
existing and future uses on adjacent lands;
37

h)
Any other requirements as per Provincial regulation or any other
conditions Council deems necessary.
5.3
Residential Mixed-Use Policy Area
The area north of PTH No. 1, previously known as Bison Park, then Jellystone Park,
and finally White Horse Campgrounds was used for recreational type uses, but has
been vacant for several decades. This area could accommodate future residential
development including a mix of residential uses such as single-family, two-family,
and lower density attached townhouse type dwellings that would be a maximum
of two storeys similar to single-family development, and subject to addressing site,
servicing and access constraints. It is anticipated that the majority of lands within the
Residential Mixed-Use Policy Area due to flooding issues will either be dedicated
to the RM as Public Reserve or the Province as Crown Reserve. Any of the density
provisions mentioned within this Section pertain to the developable portion of the
site and excludes the dedicated lands.
5.3.1
Objectives
5.3.1.1
To provide a location within the Lido Plage area where a limited
variety of residential housing types and lot sizes may be considered to
accommodate the lifecycle of the RM of Cartier's residents.

Commercial Mixed-Use Policy Area
An area north of PTH No. 1 is included within the Commercial Mixed-Use Policy
Area. Part of this area was previously used as a mobile home park until the on-
site wastewater management systems failed leading to the park being vacated.
Also included in this area is an existing commercial business that sells used tractor
trailers, parts and accessories.
The intent of the Commercial Mixed-Use Policy Area is to allow for existing
commercial uses to continue in this area, while allowing for the former mobile
home park to be redeveloped for business purposes. The Commercial Mixed-Use
Policy Area may also be suited for future residential development, and as such, this
policy area allows for both types of uses to occur, subject to a suitable designation
from the White Horse Plains Planning District Development Plan being applied.
Additionally, a suitable land use zone from the RM of Cartier's Zoning By-law would
also have to be applied.
