Southfort Ridge-Meadows Outline Plan Amendment

Al-Terra Engineering Ltd. on behalf of Southfort Development Corp. applied to amend the Southfort Ridge-Meadows Outline Plan to redesignate 0.26 ha (0.65 acres) of lands in Southfort Meadows from:

Medium Density Street-Oriented Townhouse to Medium Density Reduced Setback Housing Development

The purpose of this amendment is to identify proposed location of a non-conventional development; specifically, medium density semi-detached houses with suites and reduced rear setbacks. The applicant has also submitted a corresponding Land Use Bylaw (Bylaw C1-23) amendment and redistricting application. Housekeeping changes to the outline plan include reflecting previously approved redistrictings for the reduced setback housing development and subsequent updates to land use statistics. Prior to early 2022, Outline Plans were not required to identify the location of non-conventional housing typologies on the land use concept plans.

A Non-Statutory Public Hearing for the Southfort Ridge-Meadows Outline Plan amendment will take place on:

Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at 2 p.m.

Southfort Meadows Land Use Bylaw Amendment and Redistricting – Bylaw C1-23

Al-Terra Engineering Ltd. on behalf of Southfort Development Corp. applied to amend the Land Use Bylaw to: add a DC(A)-21 - Innovative Street Oriented Medium Density Housing With Suites District, revise the existing definition of semi-detached housing, add a new definition for ‘semi-detached suites’, and redistrict 0.49 ha (1.21 acres) of lands in Southfort Meadows from:

UR – Urban Reserve District to DC(A)-21 – Innovative Street Oriented Medium Density Housing with Suites

The purpose of this district is to provide a new medium density housing type along Greenfield Link across from a storm water management facility. This district would allow for semi-detached housing that has rear attached garages off a lane with semi-detached suites. These lots would not have rear yards and front yards would accommodate porches facing the street. Additional architectural regulations will ensure higher design standard and street appeal.

Public Hearing for Bylaw C1-23 will take place on:
