Block Plans
Page Content
Certain areas of the City which are expected to undergo significant change may require a more detailed planning framework. Council may pass Secondary Plans, to provide a framework for appropriate development including, the vision and character for an area with land uses, urban design, street and block pattern; adequate municipal servicing and infrastructure and to determine the appropriate mix, location and intensity of certain uses.
 
Upon the adoption of Secondary Plans, a Block Plan will be required, at the discretion of the City, to be prepared by participating property owners within the Secondary Plan area or a portion thereof. The purpose of the Block Plan is to specifically address the extent and precise location of the Secondary Plan elements on the lands, including the Natural Heritage Network, servicing and infrastructure details including road and pedestrian networks, lot patterns and the precise location of community services such as schools, parks and community centres. The Block Plans essentially serve as a comprehensive blueprint for the creation of individual plans of subdivision where large parcels still remain. While this tool will be most commonly used in areas of new development it may also be applied, at the discretion of the City, in Intensification Areas.
 

The Block Plan Application is currently being revised.
