65 Avenue Area Structure Plan

We are here to launch the 65 Avenue Area Structure Plan (ASP) process and to get your feedback on the vision and direction for the draft plan

This project is being undertaken by the City of Leduc in consultation with Stantec and MXD Development Strategists. Project Overview 65 Avenue Area Structure Plan

The City of Leduc is creating a new Area Structure Plan (ASP) for lands What is an ASP? directly south of the International Airport (EIA) and west of QEII Highway, north of the Bridgeport and Deer Valley neighbourhoods. With the An ASP provides a general planning framework that guides future detailed design of the 65 Ave and QEII Highway Interchange underway, this development in a specific area. It identifies and describes major land uses ASP will be an important part of creating a new land use plan for the area. (residential, commercial, industrial, schools, parks, etc.), roadways, utility servicing, trail systems and potential population density. The lands in this area are integral to the economic viability and prosperity of the region due to their proximity to current development at the EIA. The City Public Engagement of Leduc - Intermunicipal Development Plan and the City of Leduc Municipal Development Plan call for the development of a business Throughout 2018 and 2019, the City will be seeking feedback from the industrial area with mixed use residential and business areas that provide community and stakeholders to guide the vision of the proposed 65 Avenue an adequate buffer and transition to existing residential neighbourhoods. ASP. A second open house will be held later in 2019 to collect feedback on The plan will also build upon the opportunities and vision set out in the 2015 the draft plan, which will be posted on the City’s website: www.leduc.ca/65- Aerotropolis Viability Study. avenue-area-structure-plan

The Airport Vicinity Protection Area Regulation is a provincial regulation that prohibits certain kinds of buildings, in order to limit our exposure to aircraft noise. The regulation was revised in 2006, and greatly impacts the 65th Avenue ASP area. For example, no new residences or schools are allowed east of the 30 NEF line.

The City of Leduc’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) will help shape the 65th Area Structure Plan. Here are some of the key guiding policies* from the MDP:

INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS PARK DEVELOPMENT

Policy 4G.1: Ensure that a generous supply of fully serviced land will be available for light manufacturing, service industrial, logistics, warehouse, distribution, eco- industrial, agri-business, aerotropolis, business park, and high-quality office park uses.

Policy 4G.2: Promote aerotropolis development adjacent to Edmonton International Airport (EIA) in accordance with the City of Leduc Aerotropolis Integrated Land Use Compatibility Plan, which will: • take advantage of the economic development synergies and opportunities created by proximity to development at Port and EIA, • include logistics, warehouse, distribution, business park, and high-quality office park uses, Example of transitional commercial land use: • incorporate a transportation network that is linked and oriented to development at retail storefronts Port Alberta and Edmonton International Airport, so that transportation impacts on residential neighbourhoods to the south will be mitigated, and • provide for a land use and development buffer to separate the residential neighbourhoods to the south from noise sources at Port Alberta and EIA.

TRANSITIONAL BUSINESS MIXED USE

Policy 4G.3: Allow for commercial, light industrial, and business park development as well as open spaces and recreational areas, which would serve to buffer the adjacent residential neighbourhoods from significant sources of highway and airport noise, and which would incorporate land use and design transitions to create compatible and sensitive development next to the adjacent residential neighbourhoods.

TRANSITIONAL RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE

Policy 4E.22: Allow for commercial, light industrial, and business park development, to buffer residential neighbourhoods from significant sources of highway and airport Example of a transitional residential land use: noise, and incorporate land use and design transitions. row housing

Policy 4E.23: Allow for a full range of housing types provided that: • gradual land use transitions will be developed within the Transitional Residential Mixed Use areas, with ○○lower density residential development closest to the adjacent residential policy areas, ○○higher density residential development further away from the residential policy areas, ○○compatible commercial, office, retail, public facilities, open space, or recreational development between the higher density residential development and other non-residential uses, and ○○light industrial or business park development closest to the adjacent non- residential policy areas, • impacts on residential development from non-residential uses will be mitigated by elements and measures such as open spaces, natural areas, constructed or natural water bodies, recreational areas, berms, sound attenuation walls, landscaping, Example of a transitional open space land innovative site planning, building orientation, advanced construction techniques, or use: a linear park more rigourous building standards.

Aerotropolis Viability Study (AVS) The City of Leduc and Leduc County The 65th Avenue ASP area was highlighted partnered in 2014/2015 to develop the as a very strategic area due to its adjacency Aerotropolis Viability Study to foster to EIA and the future 65th Avenue/Hwy 2 investment and generate diversified interchange, along with proximity to existing employment growth through land use commercial and residential, unlocking strong development and new economic activity. opportunities for business and commerce.

The “Aerotropolis Viability Study”, conducted by Stantec and MXD, analyzed the implementation of the Aerotropolis concept in 4 primary areas in the City of Leduc and Leduc County.

Aerotropolis Overview In the Aerotropolis concept, a core “Airport The broader off-airport “Aerotropolis” City” area on and adjacent to the airport area leverages the strength of existing brings together aviation and air cargo- businesses and encourages further economic focused businesses, along with retail, office, diversification and job growth. accommodation, educational, recreational, and business amenities in a dynamic hub of activity.
