West Springs Area Structure Plan (ASP) Amendment

Overview

The City is currently working on a Community Plan Amendment in the West Springs Community. This Amendment process will only apply to an area of approximately 48 hectares +/- (120 +/- acres) in size. The subject lands are bounded by 85 Street SW, Old Banff Coach Road, 77 Street SW and 8A Avenue SW.

Please view the attached map to see the boundaries of the plan area.

Development of a Concept Plan for this area will provide some future guidance for development and better align with the City’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). The MDP sets out a vision and policies for sustainable growth, which will help guide the Community Plan Amendment process.

 
Purpose
The purpose of the Area Structure Plan is to:
  1. Provide a community-wide land use concept to guide Outline Plan/Land Use applications for development.
  2. Ensure that communities are built out to facilitate a wide range of transportation options, and to include a wide range of services and amenities for the future residents of the area.
  3. Promote a mix of land uses that contribute to a vibrant area, including employment, residential, and commercial uses.
  4. Ensure the conservation of valuable environmentally significant features.
 
On a more detailed level, a Concept Plan for the ¼ Section of Land will:
  1. Create an inter-connected street and pathway network for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers.
  2. Identify an appropriate scale of development for the area that is sensitive to the surrounding neighbourhood context.
  3. Identify needed infrastructure and services such as stormwater ponds and transit service
 
How to Get Involved
A public open house was held on November 30, 2011 to present information on the West Springs Community Plan Amendment. The panels that were presented at the meeting are now available here and under supporting documents below.

An Online Survey is available for you to complete to provide feedback on the proposed Concept Plan. Please complete the questionnaire before the closing date of December 18th.

A summary of the responses received will be made available after the closing date, and will help to inform City Staff and Owners within the area what changes should be made to the Concept Plan and/or Draft Text. Your responses may also be shared with the approving bodies of Calgary Planning Commission and Council.

A DRAFT Plan will be made available on this page for viewing and feedback as soon as it is available in the New Year.
