Presentation to Town Council

June 24, 2019

The Ad Hoc Committee and B&A Planning Group made a presentation to Town Council on Monday, June 24, 2019. This presentation was the first step in the Franciscans’ process of establishing statutory certainty over the future use of the South Lands, which will require an amendment to the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and a change in land use through the adoption of an Area Structure Plan (ASP).

At the request of the Town of Cochrane, the presentation included a number of scenarios that illustrate potential alternate purposes for the South Lands. These scenarios were created to initiate a thoughtful conversation with Council and share high level benefits and trade-offs associated with preliminary ideas as the Franciscans continue to develop a vision for their land.
