Acheson Industrial ASP Update Overview
What is it?
Parkland County’s Acheson Industrial Area Structure Plan (ASP) is a long-range planning document, originally adopted in 2014, that guides the future subdivision and development of the Acheson area.
Why are we doing this?
The Acheson area continues to grow quickly, as development and economic trends change, it is important to review and update the ASP regularly to reflect these changes. Updates will ensure the document reflects the County’s Municipal Development Plan and supports the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan.
How are we doing this?
We will be updating the ASP in two phases:
| Phase 1 - Completed |
|
Administrative changes: revising document formatting, updating relevant maps and policies. Phase 1 was completed in December of 2020. |
| Phase 2 |
|
Re-designating a new land use concept for southeast area of Acheson (“Agricultural Area B”), plus various policy and mapping revisions that are outstanding from Phase 1. Phase 2 will start January 2021. |
Phase 2 details
Special Study Area – Agricultural Area B is currently used for agricultural purposes, a new land use concept will be given to the area.
The following outstanding revisions to various policy and mapping from Phase 1 will also be addressed:
- Work with Enoch Cree Nation to revise language around interjurisdictional collaboration.
- Work with developers on policies of their concern, such as Floor-Area-Ratio Standards, etc.
- Address minor mapping revisions not covered under Phase 1.
- Other miscellaneous housekeeping items.
