Preferred option for land use designation - join the conversation

Land use

Land use informs how blocks and areas within the study area will develop. Different land use designations allow for a range of activity and a balanced community.

Neighbourhoods

Neighbourhoods are primarily residential with compatible uses located in each quadrant. These areas have lower densities and heights to ensure there is a variety of built form and character.

Mixed Use (Non-Residential Requirement) 

Mixed use incorporates both residential and commercial uses. This requirement is satisfied by including office, retail, services, institutional and cultural uses.

Non-residential Mixed Use

Non-residential mixed use areas expand permitted uses in existing employment precincts to include retail uses. They also establish a buffer to Highway 400 and industrial uses.

Parks and Open Spaces

The parks and open spaces are identified as per the VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan and serve as a vital network to meet the recreational needs of VMC residents.
