The Infrastructure Master Plan is a critical document focused on land use. The plan examines the effects of potential growth scenarios on each component of infrastructure – including water, wastewater, stormwater and transportation/road systems – and explores solutions to any possible deficiencies.
Area Structure Plans
Area structure plans (ASP) are approved by Council as bylaws, and guide future development. An ASP provides a framework that describes:
the proposed land uses
density of population
sequence of development
general location of major roadways
public utilities in the area
any additional requirements that Council may identify
An off-site levy allows municipalities to recover capital costs incurred for infrastructure improvements as a result of new development or growth. Off-site levies transparently and equitably allocate off-site infrastructure capital costs to those that benefit – thus ensuring that growth pays for growth.
