Within the guidelines established by the Council approved “Longfields Concept Plan”, the development will focus on a balanced return on investment, affordable housing and the environment. With the intent to provide a greater range of development opportunities with the private sector, this project will embrace innovative planning principles and design standards that are inline with the 20/20 Vision. The Real Property Asset Management branch will lead this action item. This project was initiated in 2005 and is scheduled for completion by 2010.”

35THE SITE
The Longfields infill subdivision - a smart-growth community demonstrating the City’s 20/20 principles, and “Shaped by Choice, Not by Chance”. The City intends to register the plan of subdivision, rezone the lands, adopt design requirements, and will then oversee phased land sales and construction of homes by an array of local builders. While securing a balanced return on investment, this City project will “demonstrate” the following:
4 distinct neighbourhoods, embracing public parks
compact development
an array of housing types for all income ranges
neighbourhood conveniences and a central transit station
a modified grid road network complemented by a rapid bus corridor
a network of pathways for pedestrians and cyclists
extensive landscaping and the preservation of environmental features
innovative planning principles and progressive design standards
