Previous Project Milestones

January 2021 - Developed the Prototypes

A draft of the District General Policy and 3 sample district plans were prepared as sample district plans. 

Spring 2021 - Shared the Prototypes

Prototypes were shared with a group of core stakeholders to gather feedback and input on the structure, content and level of detail proposed to be contained within district plans. The input helped to improve the sample plans and that feedback was incorporated in the drafting of all remaining district plans.

  • Revised draft District General Policy and draft Mill Woods and Meadows District Plan (4.07 MB) posted on the project website for public view

June and July 2021 - Information Sessions

The project team hosted 8 online Information Sessions to introduce District Planning to residents and community members. The sessions provided an opportunity to create awareness about the project and its connection to The City Plan’s implementation and to gather initial questions.
