The Project
This review of the Conrich Area Structure Plan (ASP) focuses on the greater area as shown in the map below. The objective is to establish a planning framework that respects the values of the community, accounts for current conditions, and aligns with important larger scale plans that have been adopted since the original ASP was completed. This project will consider the need for all types of land uses, including commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential uses. The project scope will also include technical studies to determine stormwater, water, and wastewater management to confirm efficiencies and capacity for servicing in the plan area.
Background
The Conrich Area Structure Plan (ASP) is located in the southeast quadrant of the County, neighbouring the city of Chestermere along the south and city of Calgary on the west and south. The existing ASP was adopted in December 2015 (effective 2017 following Municipal Government Board decision); the area is approximately 4,411 hectares (10,900 acres) in size containing a mix of residential, industrial, and agricultural uses. The ASP provides a comprehensive planning and technical framework for an area identified in the Municipal Development Plan (County Plan) as a Full-Service Hamlet and Regional Business Centre.
Ten years have passed since the adoption of the ASP, and while there have been conceptual schemes approved since, progression to development stages have been limited. Feedback received from developers identified incompatibilities between existing land use categories and types of uses that are in-demand today. Additionally, Council recently approved amendments to the Plan introducing a new Hamlet boundary and associated policies.
The Conrich ASP review will involve community and stakeholder engagement, technical review and studies, and reevaluating the land use scenarios. The proposed Conrich ASP will include policy analysis and will ensure that the proposed ASP complies with the direction of higher-level plans.
