12 Thousand Acres Plan Unanimously Approved by Council
卡尔加里, AB (2018年8月15日)今年六月, the City of Airdrie Council unanimously approved the 12 Thousand Acres Plan (12K Plan) prepared by our 卡尔加里 规划 team and the City of Airdrie. 12K计划是非法定的, functional-planning document intended to provide long range plans to guide the Council’s decision making on future development within the 土地 annexed from Rocky View County in 2012.
“This is an exciting opportunity for the 卡尔加里 office and the firm as a whole,“副主任兼业务主管, 本李, 分享关于项目的工作. “One of the largest projects our office has worked on (to scale), the 12K Plan will shape and guide future planning documents for years to come. 这是发展的路线图.”
该计划包括12个,640 acres of land and is expected to provide the City with a 50+ year land supply that will accommodate the development of a targeted allocation of employment, 土地, 服务, 设施, 休憩用地及房屋. The Plan provides a comprehensive approach to managing growth that is attuned to the City’s strategic and economic development objectives.
由四个主要部分组成的, the 12K Plan lays the groundwork for how this development will happen. 该项目的目标是:
- Provide a general land use concept for the annexed 土地
- 界定未来社区区域结构规划的边界
- Provide general sequencing for future development within the project area
- 提供指导方针, where and how interim uses could be supported that would not adversely affect the City’s objectives and logical development sequence within the plan area
Public engagement was a major component when developing the 12K Plan to gather information and allow the community and stakeholders to provide their input and direction. The engagement took part in two phases; project kick-off, 研讨会, and meetings to discuss background information and assumptions with individual stakeholders that would be used in the creation of the draft plan; and public open houses with another round of meetings with individual stakeholders and residents in the project area to review the plan and make any necessary changes to the final draft document.
The 12K Plan provides the City of Airdrie with the framework to responsibly develop the land in the coming years in an effort to boldly propel the community forward. Airdrie continues to be one of the fastest growing cities in Canada and we are proud to be involved with shaping their future growth.
