Countryside Villages Secondary Plan (Area 48)
The Countryside Villages Secondary Plan area is approximately 1,600 acres and is bounded by Mayfield Road to the North, Countryside Drive to the south, the west branch of the West Humber River to the east and Heart Lake Road to the west and represents an extension of the Springdale community to the south.

On June 13, 2007 Council endorsed a Planning Vision for the area, which is in keeping with the overall principles of the sustainable City Concept in the new Official Plan.
The Planning Vision is for a distinct community incorporating the concepts of “new urbanism” where neighbourhoods are planned to be pedestrian friendly and transit supportive. For the lands designated Industrial, located between Dixie Road and Heart Lake Road, the Planning Vision proposed a business park that includes both office and industrial buildings that takes full advantage of the access and exposure offered by Highway 410.
The community will be planned to accommodate 50 persons and jobs per hectare, which is in keeping with the Growth Plan requirement for Greenfield areas.
