2017-1695 Project outcomes

The policy direction for this parcel of land was originally conceived in 2006 with the approved Winston Heights Mountview Area Redevelopment Plan. The City of Calgary Real Estate & Development Services is acting as a developer for the site and will complete the same application process required by private developers. The outcomes of this planning exercise includes: • A concept plan and an outline plan that identify design details such as the locations of roads, pathways and green spaces, and types of housing and commercial buildings • A completed application that will be submitted to the Corporate Planning Applications Group (CPAG) early next year

2017-1695 How your input will be used

The project team will take the input gathered here and online, along with technical analysis, market research and relevant City policies, to create three base concept plans and evaluation criteria. The three concept plans will be presented at a multi-day design charrette for the community planned for November 4 and November 7. At the design charette, participants will work alongside the project team to: • Evaluate the three concept plans • Develop the plans in more detail • Provide input to help narrow down the options to one preferred plan. What We Heard reports from all of these engagement sessions will be available online in December 2019.
