Information Sheet

Application

• Official Community Plan Amendment (File No.: PL201900072)

• Proposed Concept Plan (File No.: PL201900070)

• Location: NE-03-17-20-02 (Appendix A-1)

• Development: Proposed residential neighbourhood

Background

• The City of Regina (City) is reviewing a concept plan application and Official Community Plan (OCP)

amendment application submitted by Dream Development (Applicant)

• Concept plans illustrate the layout (e.g. streets, land-use, parks) of proposed new residential and

commercial areas and are used to direct subsequent rezoning and subdivision applications

• An amendment to the OCP is required in order to assign a phasing designation to the concept plan area

Proposal (concept plan)

• The proposed neighbourhood will be 70 hectares (gross developable area) and will have, at full build-

out, a population of, approximately, 3,800 people

• The proposed neighbourhood will consist of: residential (varying densities); park(s); new joint-use

school; local commercial node (Appendix A-2)

• Primary access will be via Gordon Road; Jim Cairns Boulevard

• The Applicant is proposing to close Campbell St., south of Jim Cairns Blvd., and convert the right-of-

way into residential lots; however, internal roadway will provide new travel options and the closure will

be staged over time to ensure that access is maintained

Proposal (OCP amendment)

• The Applicant proposes to amend the phasing strategy of the OCP (Maps 1 and 1[b]) by having a Phase

1 designation assigned to the concept plan area

• The phasing strategy requires the peripheral, undeveloped areas of the city be developed in a sequential

manner (Phase 1 areas to be developed first, followed by Phase 2 and then Phase 3)

• The concept plan area forms part of a “Special Study Area” (Appendix A-3), which does not have a

phasing designation assigned, but has the potential for inclusion in the phasing strategy (up to 120

hectares only) through consideration of criteria set out in Sections 2.14 and 2.15 of the OCP

• The OCP may be accessed via the following link: www.regina.ca/about-regina/official-community-plan/

Process

• The City is in the process of evaluation the applications, including resident and stakeholder feedback

• After the evaluation, a report, with recommendation, will be prepared and submitted to the Regina

Planning Commission for their consideration, followed by submission to City Council

• Any person is free to address Regina Planning Commission or City Council. If you wish to be kept

informed about the date and time of these meetings, be sure to give the City your contact information
