Southern Country Residential Area Structure Plan

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Leduc County is preparing the Southern Country Residential Area Structure Plan (SCRASP) to provide the framework for the long-term growth and development of the area for future planning.

Within Leduc County there has been an increased interest related to county residential development. To accommodate this interest while balancing the impact on existing residential development, municipal infrastructure and environmental features, Leduc County is taking the proactive step of guiding development by creating the Southern Country Residential Area Structure Plan. The SCRASP will then provide direction for the creation of outline plans, which will provide more detailed development policies.

The Southern Country Residential Area Structure Plan is located in the eastern portion of Leduc County, approximately five minutes northwest of New Sarepta and 20 minutes east of the City of Leduc. The majority of land within the plan area is used for agricultural purposes or contains wetland and/or forestry stands. There are some existing country residential subdivisions, and as shown in the plan above, are largely disjointed from one-another.

Plan objectives

The Southern Country Residential Area Structure Plan seeks to achieve the following objectives:

• Establish a vision for the plan area.
• Spatially plan for density, phasing, and associated built forms.
• Provide the framework for land use patterns and future utilities.
• Delineate and prioritize sub-planning areas.
• Integrate land use/development patterns with adjacent jurisdictions.
• Provide development certainty to the residents and investors.
• Understand the servicing needs and how servicing would be provided to future, and possibly existing, development.
• Understand the fiscal impact on the county from additional development within the plan area.

WE NEED YOUR INPUT

In November we heard your feedback on the general vision for the area structure plan. Now we need your input on the draft SCRASP document to help refine the goals, objectives and policies in the plan.
