The Albion Area Plan strives to balance new residential development, the protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and the provision of a range of housing styles to meet diverse housing needs.
Background
North East Albion
Since the North East Albion Land Use Plan was adopted in 2022, there have been growing levels of interest in increasing multi-family forms of development within the area.
A number of shifts have also occurred within the provincial context, including changing market interest rates and evolving preference demands.
Land Use and Servicing Review
On October 24, 2023, Council endorsed a targeted land use and servicing review of the southern portion of the North East Albion Area to refresh the plan to reflect current on-going market conditions related to the need to densify single family areas as well as Council aspirations for this area. The area under review is generally considered to be the lands south of 110 Avenue within the North East Albion Area.
As a part of the targeted review process, the City hosted an Open House and published a survey to gather feedback about the potential land use changes.
Thank you to those who attended the Open House on February 22 at the Albion Community Centre and to those that completed the online survey that was open from February 22 to March 7, 2024.
Public feedback was included in the outcomes discussing potential land use changes and recommendation report that went to Council on June 11, 2024. Click here to read the report.
Recognizing this evolving landscape, a targeted land use and servicing review of the southern portion of the North East Albion Area was endorsed by Council on October 24, 2024. The review of land uses and servicing is currently underway. Once complete, staff will provide a report to Council with the results of the land use and servicing review, as well as the public consultation results.
