The planning process Municipal Development Plan vol. 1 & Calgary Transportation Plan Adopted by City Council in 2009. Contains policy that will shape how Calgary develops over the next 30 to 60 years. Based on imaginecalgary and PlanIt Calgary, these plans provide guidance for long-term growth to create a more compact and sustainable city. Land Use Redesignation Changes the existing land use to accommodate a specific type of development. Outline Plan Addresses infrastructure needs, location and size of roads, distribution of parks and open spaces, and location of land use districts. Master Plan and Design Guidelines Provides direction and guidance for The City in evaluating future development permit applications for buildings on the site. Development Permit A Development Permit application involves a review of the detailed design of a specific site and/or building within the plan area. Development Permit applications require approval from The City and deal with things like architectural design, location and amount of parking, landscaping, etc. Development Construction Construction of the development may begin if all applications and permits are approved.
Why is development in this area being considered? In 2009, City Council approved the Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The MDP provides guidance for long-term growth and development to create a more compact and sustainable city. Development of these lands will help build a more compact city that makes efficient use of our services and infrastructure, while minimizing urban sprawl. City staff will review the development application against the key policies of the MDP. Key MDP Policies Creating Great Communities Ensure a diversity of housing forms and a full range of community services and facilities while respecting and enhancing the neighborhood character. This includes provision for quality public parks, open spaces and other community amenities which make leisure and recreation activities available to all Calgarians. Shaping a More Compact Urban Form Foster the development of complete communities with a strong sense of place, and establish land uses that optimize population and job growth within walking distance of transit. High Quality Parks System Provide a high-quality park and open-space system to meet the varying needs of Calgarians. Developing Established Residential Areas Recognize the existing built form and density, and support moderate intensification in a form that respects the character of the neighborhood.

Development application detail There are three parts to this application: Part 1 Land Use Redesignation The Land Use Redesignation is used to change the existing land use designation (zoning) to accommodate a certain type of development. The Land Use Districts establish the rules for future development to occur on the site (e.g. allowable uses, maximum building height, density, landscaping requirements, etc.) Current Special Purposes Future Urban Development (S-FUD) The S-FUD designation is primarily for lands that are awaiting urban development and is largely limited to uses that can easily be removed to allow for future urban development. Proposed A range of housing designations to anticipate the future development of: 149 dwelling units within low density housing forms such as single detached dwellings (R-G) 155 dwelling units within grade oriented multi-residential housing forms such as rowhouses and townhouse buildings (M-CG) 586 dwelling units within multiresidential housing forms such as apartment buildings up to 16 metres in height (M-C2) 1.63 hectares of new public park space connected to the existing neighbourhood by a pedestrian pathway (S-SPR) Part 2 Outline Plan The Outline Plan informs the future subdivision of a parcel of land. This addresses infrastructure needs, location and size of streets, distribution of parks and open spaces, and location of various land use districts. The Outline Plan will also include conditions of approval to deal with issues that are implemented during future subdivision and construction stages. Part 3 Master Plan and Design Guidelines The Master Plan and Design Guidelines provide direction to designers, developers, builders, property owners and community members for future development on the land. These guidelines are non-statutory but can help City staff and other decision makers when reviewing future development permit applications on the property.
