Hidden Valley Land Use Implementation Project
On June 24, 2019, Council approved a new Land Use Master Plan for the Hidden Valley area. The Hidden Valley area comprises approximately 183 hectares of land bounded by the Grand River, Highway 8, Wabanaki Drive and the rail corridor near Fairway Road.
The area is characterized primarily by rolling topography, including several agricultural fields, with large lot estate residential dwellings towards the river. By far, one of the greatest and most noteworthy features of this area is the significant natural environmental system.
Lands within Hidden Valley are located within the Built-Up Area and the Designated Greenfield Area. This project is the next step to prepare policies and land uses that would be incorporated into the Official Plan, along with implementing zoning.
A range of technical studies are being completed to inform the proposed policies and land uses, the Master Plan will be used as guidance and direction during the completion of the technical studies.
The technical studies will determine:
The suitability of Master Plan land uses with respect to environmental, social, health, transportation, water management, urban design, and heritage impacts.
Any technical standards required for implementation of the Secondary Plan including applying zoning and processing future development applications.
