The Town is developing a new Area Structure Plan (ASP) for approximately 778 acres of land within the northeast portion of the town. This plan will guide future land use, transportation, and infrastructure decisions for the area, creating a comprehensive plan to support and enable future growth and development.

The Town is committed to providing timely information about the Northeast ASP and giving multiple opportunities to provide feedback. Interested in helping shape the Northeast Area Structure Plan? We want to hear from you!

Project Background

The ASP area includes lands annexed from Foothills County in 2012 and 2021, situated west and east of 112 Street E, near the Highway 2A and Highway 2 interchange.

With increasing development interest, the Town sees this as an opportunity to plan for resilient growth overtime.

This area offers the potential for walkable, mixed-use neighbourhoods with development capitalizing on the proximity to the highway and subsequent employment opportunities and coordinated infrastructure solutions.

Who's Listening

The Northeast ASP is being led by the Town, with support from our selected planning consultants, V3 Companies of Canada and Table Talk Engagement and Communications.

What is an ASP?

An Area Structure Plan (ASP) is a statutory plan used by municipalities in Alberta to guide the future subdivision, development and servicing of a specific area. A statutory plan must meet specific requirements in the Municipal Government Act (MGA). Area Structure Plans are designed to guide future subdivision and land use within a municipality.

An ASP includes:

• A land use concept: This outlines where land uses will go within the plan area, including residential, commercial, parks, industrial areas, etc.
• Transportation network: Plans for roads, pathways, sidewalks, and other transportation infrastructure
• Servicing plans: Details on water, wastewater, and stormwater management
• Policies: Guidelines to direct future zoning and subdivision decisions
• Phasing of development: the development sequence proposed for the area, divided into phases
