Phase 1: ENVISION
Looking back at the past, understanding the present and envisioning the future of the area.
June 6 - June 30, 2024
The West Macleod Residual Lands Area Structure Plan (ASP) will provide for the local area planning of 220 hectares (544 acres) in the City’s southwest. This policy document will provide the vision, goals and core principles that will shape the future stages of development. It will guide land use patterns, transportation and utility networks and implement the broad planning objectives of the Municipal Development Plan, Calgary Transportation Plan & other relevant regional and city-wide policies & strategies.
This process will include the scoping and review of numerous technical reports and analysis evaluating everything from population & employment forecasts to archeology & biophysical inventory. It will identify lands of environmental significance and demonstrate through the location of pathways, parks and streets how its future residents will be able to move, relax and play.
The outcome of all of this work will inform future growth strategies, identify the need for any Capital investments and provide for a sequencing of development.
A Land Use Concept will be developed that will show where all the higher ordered elements of a complete community should locate. It will contain the approximate location and type of schools and neighbourhood activity centres.
West Macleod Residual Lands ASP will provide for an entirely new Area Structure Plan (policy framework) that will guide the future development of those lands included on the map. The existing West Macleod ASP will NOT be amended. The recommendation to proceed with a new ASP was confirmed by the City Planning & Policy Service Committee. To reduce confusion, a new name will be selected for the West Macleod Residual Lands ASP following the planned Visioning Session scheduled to be held in March 2024.
The ASP envisions that these lands within the Plan Area would primarily be used for residential purposes including supportive land uses such as local commercial and community amenities.
No. The West Mcleod Residual Lands Area Structure Plan (ASP) project does not consider future annexation or developments in the identified Calgary Growth Area. Any future annexation is unknown at the moment.
The Project Plan Area borders Foothills County. Following higher-order Intermunicipal policy, we will collaborate with Foothills County Administration during ASP development. Working with all interested parties, including Foothills County, is good planning practice.
Yes. The City of Calgary has a long-established framework for the creation of Area Structure Plans. Commonly referred to as the ‘Developer-Funded Model’, this framework allows developer or landowner to apply to The City to create a new development plan for greenfield sites. All costs for the plan development are charged back to the developer or landowner. They are often the sole or majority landowner within the area being considered for plan development.
The project team considers feedback, input and ideas from the public, landowners, and other interested parties. Many aspects are being considered as part of developing this ASP, including but not limited to:
Most of the lands within the Plan Area are privately owned by multiple landowners.
It is still too early in the ASP Process to identify the density and project the number of houses and population. The project team is working towards a single draft Land Use Concept, which would then be used along with other factors such as technical studies to arrive at the density.
This ASP is City led and developer funded, wherein the City leads the process of creating this ASP. As part of an ASP process, all landowners within the Plan Area are engaged and expected to participate.
There is no current policy guidance or support on LRT extending beyond the current plan, hence the ASP is being planned without the consideration of LRT extension.
As part of the ASP process, the City undertakes various technical studies to understand the feasibility and servicing aspects, including for transportation and traffic. These studies are currently underway and would inform the land use concepts and policies in the ASP.
a. You can send us a request on the project email with your intent and we’ll forward your request to the developer and landowners. Once we get their consent, we’ll be happy to share their contact information with you.
The West Macleod Residual Lands ASP includes lands located south of Pine Creek, west of Macleod Trail, east of the CPKC Rail line and north of Foothills County.
Feedback provided by participants helps shape the ASP as it is created.
Input provided by participants helps the project team understand perspectives, opinions and concerns throughout all phases of the project. Input collected in each phase of the project helps influence and inform the concepts and policies that are created and refined throughout the process. Throughout the project, the project team will share what was heard, highlighted the key themes raised, and provided responses for how key themes were addressed and considered.
Participant input is an important part of the ASP process, but is one of many areas of consideration. Other areas include: City policies, professional expertise, current context and trends, and equity which all factor into the ultimate decision-making process and concept development.
