Amherstview West Secondary Plan
Secondary Plans can be considered a second layer of the Township-wide Official Plan. They include a land use plan with implementing policies that are adopted into the Official Plan to ensure that their intent is legally binding.
In September 2020, the Township put out a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop the Amherstview West Secondary Plan and we have now completed our evaluation of the submissions received (see staff report below). The Secondary Plan will provide a policy and implementation framework to guide the future growth and development of this area for the next 25 years. The Secondary Plan will be accompanied by a series of technical studies that support the Plan, in accordance with the policies in the Township’s Official Plan (current and proposed policies), that also conform to the County Official Plan and are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS).
The Secondary Plan must also conform to all servicing and design guidelines and manuals and maintain line-of-sight to other Loyalist Township plans including but not limited to the Strategic Plan, the Asset Management Plan, the Recreation Master Plan, the Climate Action Plan (once approved), and the Infrastructure Master Plan (currently under development). The process will also be required to satisfy Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements and will need to be documented accordingly.
To have a better idea of the geographic area of Amherstview West, please refer to the map below.
The Plan will be developed over the course of 2021 and will include multiple opportunities for public involvement and engagement. Stay tuned for details!
The recommendation included in the staff report below was approved by Council on December 14, 2020.
