1 January 30, 2018 STAKEHOLDER MEETING #3 FEEDBACK FORM Conceptual Scheme TOWNSHIP ROAD 250 TRANSITION AREA NAME

2 Meeting Purpose To receive feedback from landowners and stakeholders on the proposed conceptual scheme design options, project objectives and policy directions. 2

3 What We Heard There have been two previous stakeholder events: Initial Directions Workshop - October 30, 2017 Design Workshop - November 29, 2017 Summary reports from both workshops are available on the Rocky View County website. A summary from the November workshop is provided below. Compatible Land Uses for Industrial Transition Area (according to majority of stakeholders) Restaurants, commercial/office, live-work uses, religious buildings, greenhouses, and small-scale industrial uses Stakeholders stated a desire for home-based business/live-work opportunities. Possibly Compatible Land Uses for Industrial Transition Area (according to some stakeholders) Outdoor storage if properly screened, brewery, light manufacturing (indoor/no nuisances), indoor RV storage, light manufacturing, and contractor bays with associated screened outdoor storage. Lot Sizes (according to majority of stakeholders) General consensus was for smaller lot sizes in the Industrial Transition Area, as stakeholders felt this would also control against large land uses and buildings with off-site impacts. Generally stakeholders preferred lot sizes between one to two acres in the Industrial Transition Area. Stakeholders stated that country residential lots as small as two acres in size would be appropriate in the country residential policy area. Road / Buffering / Landscaping (according to majority of stakeholders) Stakeholders preferred a roadway that would provide a buffer between residential and nonresidential land uses and included a pathway, planting buffer and amenity strip. 3

4 QUESTION #1 VISION Vision & Objectives The Plan Area develops into a successful and visually attractive residential and commercial business hub that supports the development of the Conrich area into a regional business centre, while demonstrating sensitivity to the existing residential properties, and balances the long term social, economic, and environmental goals of the County. OBJECTIVES This Conceptual Scheme has been prepared, in alignment with higher order statutory plans, in accordance with the following six planning objectives: 1. Provide an implementable land use, subdivision, servicing and development framework for the Township Road 250 Transition Area, in accordance with the Conrich Area Structure Plan and County Plan policy direction; 2. Accommodate future development that is consistent with higher order statutory plans including the County Plan and Conrich Area Structure Plan; 3. Attract business development by identifying and defining the appropriate light industrial, business, live-work, and commercial uses for the Township Road 250 Transition Area that balance the intent of the higher order statutory plans with the needs of the existing residential community; 4. Undertake effective community consultation and engagement in order to ensure land use policies and subdivision design will respond appropriately to community concerns; 5. Demonstrate sensitivity and respect for key environmental and natural features; and adjacent residential properties through appropriate design measures, interface transitions and buffering; and 6. Provide a policy framework that addresses short and long term utility and transportation servicing requirements of the Plan Area. Do you support the draft vision and objectives? Please comment below: 4

5 QUESTION #2 Concept Designs The following concept designs have been created based on feedback from landowners and stakeholders at previous workshops as well as alignment with County standards and policies. Descriptions of each land use policy area (e.g. light industrial, live-work, etc.) are provided in the pages to follow. Please rank the Concept Designs from 1 to 4. (1= best / most preferred concept, 4= worst / least preferred concept design) Concept Design A Concept Design B Concept Design C Concept Design D Please provide any additional feedback on the concept designs: 5

8 QUESTION #3 Light Industrial A Light Industrial policy area would allow for a mix of small warehouses, contracting bays, with potential for retail or commercial services. They may have small offsite impacts and require larger lots than the Business-Commercial area. In addition some outdoor storage of materials and equipment would be permitted if screened appropriately. Potential light industrial land uses Is this an appropriate land use for the area? Provide any comments or feedback on this proposed land use. 8

9 QUESTION #4 Business Commercial A Business-Commercial policy area would allow for a mix of office, retail and other related land uses that may benefit from good transportation access and exposure to Township Road 250. These land uses do not require large parcels of land and do not have any offsite impacts. Potential business-commercial land uses Is this an appropriate land use for the area? Provide any comments or feedback on this proposed land use. 9

10 QUESTION #5 Live-Work Overlay The Live-Work Overlay would be an added policy layer allowing a new type of home-based business in addition to the existing zoning on the property. The policy would allow applications for larger home-based businesses that may have minor offsite impacts, a small number of employees and generate some additional traffic. Existing on-site water and waste water services would need to have capacity to service the business. Potential live-work examples Is this an appropriate land use and policy for the area? Provide any comments or feedback: 10

11 QUESTION #6 Country Residential Land Uses The Country Residential policy area would allow landowners to re-subdivide their lots to a minimum of 2 acres. Panhandle lots would be discouraged and the developer would be required to provide County standard roads. Single lot subdivisions may be permitted to provide on-site water and waste water servicing. Multi-lot subdivisions would be required to connect to municipal water and waste water servicing in compliance with County policy. Are these proposed policies appropriate for the area? Provide any comments or feedback. 11

12 Policy Summary The following is summary of the key proposed policies: Policy Area LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS- COMMERCIAL LIVE-WORK OVERLAY COUNTRY RESIDENTIAL Photo example Servicing Requirements (water & waste water) Municipal water & waste water required Municipal water & waste water required On-site servicing (water well & septic system) may continue if deemed appropriate Single-lot subdivisions on-site servicing Multi-lot subdivision require municipal servicing Servicing Requirements (storm water) Initially on-site retention ponds required Required to connnect to municipal storm system when available Initially on-site retention ponds required Required to connnect to municipal storm system when available On-site storm water management Each development required to address storm water individually Lot Size 0.5 acre minimum* 0.5 acre minimum* Existing lot sizes 2 acres minimum *must have enough land for storm water retention (15-35% of site) *must have enough land for storm water retention (15-35% of site) Example Land Uses Contracting bays, small to medium warehouses, small manufacturing Offices, restaurants, retail stores, wholesale outlets, gas station / convenience stores, institutional uses or religious buildings Trades shops (welding/carpentry/ etc), small manufacturing, landscaping services or similar businesses Country residential Road standards Municipal standard roads and pathway required Municipal standard roads and pathway required Existing lot access/ driveway - high traffic users may trigger road upgrades Multi-lot subdivisions require municipal standard roads. Single lot subdivision may allow alternative road access. 12
