Community Block Plans
Community Block Plans are required for those areas identified on Schedule “H” of the City’s Official Plan. Community Block Plans implement the policies of the City Secondary Plans and the recommendations of the subwatershed study on a Sub-area basis by co-coordinating completion of detailed environmental, servicing, transportation and urban design and growth management analysis and approvals. Community block plans assist in co-coordinating the delivery of services and infrastructure, allocation of development priority, layout of roads and the location and configuration, character, size and urban form of parks, institutional, commercial and industrial sites and layout/function of open space corridors, valleylands, woodlots and other natural features including stormwater management ponds.
Community Block Plans will form the basis of Community Block Plan amendments and will be developed on the basis of a two stage planning process which includes Stage One – Approval of the Block Plan Concept and Stage Two – Finalize the Community Block Plan.
