Vales of Humber
The Vales of Humber is about 500 acres and is bounded by Mayfield Road to the North, Countryside Drive to the south, the Gore Road to the east and a tributary of the West Humber River to the west (click here for link to location map).
The Vales of Humber was identified as a new secondary plan area with the approval of OP93-253 in 2005. This amendment designates the Vales of Humber as Residential and this area is identified as an Upscale Executive Housing Special Policy Area in the Official Plan.
Policies in the Official Plan, with respect to the Vales of Humber, provide for secondary planning to be undertaken concurrently with block planning.
All secondary planning exercises must be subject to growth management considerations such as the coordination of infrastructure and staging/sequencing timing in accordance with approved Council policy.
