Peri-Urban Agriculture Collaborate with the Government of Alberta, Alberta Health Services, the Food Policy Council, and other stakeholders to develop and implement a City-Wide Food and Agriculture Strategy.

4 Area Structure Plan what it is and what it is not! An Area Structure Plan is the intermediate link between the City of Edmonton s high-level Municipal Development Plan and a site-specific Neighbourhood Structure Plan. An Area Structure Plan does : Implements general policies outlined in the MDP Provides a broad policy framework for future NSP development Describes proposed land uses and population densities Outlines general locations of transportation routes, public utilities, and development phasing An Area Structure Plan does not: Describe the specific size and location of transportation/servicing corridors Outline specific types of residential use, park types, or local roadways Area Structure Plan Approved policies that are considered as part of this process The Way We Grow - Municipal Development Plan The Way We Move - Transportation Master Plan The Way We Green - Sustainability Plan The Way We Live People Plan City of Edmonton Zoning By-Law Top-of-Bank Roadway Policy Capital Regional Board Growth Plan Transit-Oriented Development Guidelines Urban Parks Management Plan North Saskatchewan River Valley ARP C-512 Environmental Policy C-503 Public Involvement Policy C-515 Oil and Gas Facilities Policy Future School Sites Study Erosion and Sedimentation Control Guidelines Community Knowledge Campus Needs Assessment Housing Mix Proportions in New Residential Development Multi-Use Trail Corridor Study Guide for Determining Environmental Reserve Dedication for Wetlands and Other Water Bodies ASP Area City of Edmonton Application Received Application Process Notice Sent to Property Owners Technical Review by City Departments & Agencies Public Meeting Preparation of Bylaws Notice of Public Hearing Public Hearing Total Area Boundary =3,722 ha & 9,197 acres.
