An inventory of serviced and serviceable land is kept by the City, to accommodate the relocation of existing businesses or attraction of new commercial, business or industrial facilities to the community. To facilitate the current and future demand, Section 1.0 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. the Sherring Business and Industrial Area Structure Plan allocates lands into a mix of commercial and industrial (business, general and heavy) development. A transition of land uses will minimize impacts on residential areas by ensuring adequate separation between residential development and the heavy industrial area. The Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Sherring Outline Plan) was adopted by the Municipal Planning Commission on July 6, 2004. Its purpose is to provide a detailed framework for development of the first three phases (1A, 1B, and 2) as designated by the Sherring Business and Industrial Area Structure Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Sherring ASP). 1.1 INTENT In January 2006, First Pro Shopping Center initiated amendments to the 2004 Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan to allow the development of a 14.8-hectare shopping center in the southwest corner of the Sherring Business and Industrial Park. The amended Outline Plan was approved by the Municipal Planning Commission in April 2006. The Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan Amendment applications respond to the demands of current and future industrial and commercial requirements in the City of Lethbridge. 1 Section 1.1 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 1.2 PLAN LOCATION AND LAND OWNERSHIP The Sherring Outline Plan area is located in northeast Lethbridge, encompassing an area of some 193.6 hectares (478.4 acres). The Sherring Outline Plan area includes: the NW ¼ Sec. 16-9-21-W4M, the majority (west of the irrigation canal) portion of the NE ¼ Sec. 16-9-21-W4M, the SW ¼ Sec. 16-9-21-W4M, and Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Plan 811, 0727 and Lot 6, Block 1, Plan 041 0061, all within the SE ¼ Sec. 16-9-21-W4M (excluding Pratt & Whitney). The Sherring Outline Plan area is physically bounded by 26th Avenue North and existing industrial development to the south, 28th Street North and the Uplands neighbourhood to the west, the future 44th Avenue North and future industrial development to the north, a St. Mary River Irrigation District canal and 43rd Street North to the northeast, and the existing Pratt & Whitney property to the southeast. Figure 1 illustrates the Plan boundaries. The City of Lethbridge owns all lands or has rights to all lands within the boundaries of the Sherring Outline Plan. Ownership information is shown in Figure 2. 1.3 PLANNING CONTEXT The Sherring Outline Plan has been prepared within the context of the City of Lethbridge’s planning hierarchy. The Outline Plan complies with the City of Lethbridge Municipal Development Plan, and the Sherring ASP, both of which designate this area of the city for regional / highway commercial and industrial development. The Sherring Outline Plan currently designates the plan area as I-B, Business Industrial; I-G, General Industrial; I-H, Heavy Industrial; P-B, Public Buildings; and C-N, Neighborhood Commercial. Lands within the Outline Plan area will be redistricted to the appropriate land use districts, which are further discussed in Section 3.0. 2 SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 1.4 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Public participation has occurred throughout the preparation of the Sherring ASP and the Sherring Outline Plan, through adherence to legislated notification and advertising processes, as well as additional Open Houses and information sharing. Public input was sought at an Open House for the ASP on December 10, 2003 and an Open House for the Sherring Outline Plan was held on June 23, 2004. The Land Use Plan Amendments were displayed to the Public at an Open House held at the Park Meadows School on March 9, 2006. 3 SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 SITE CHARACTERISTICS Original site characteristics, as presented in the Approved Outline Plan are unchanged. Currently, the site is under development with site grading of the Outline Plan Amendment areas in Progress. Deep / Shallow Utilities servicing has not been provided to the Amendment areas. 2.2 HISTORICAL RESOURCES No changes to the Historical Resources requirements from the Approved Outline Plan are required. 4 Section 2.1 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 3.0 LAND USE CONCEPT 3.1 OBJECTIVES The objectives of the amended Sherring Outline Plan are: To guide urban industrial development in an orderly and economical manner; To provide a detailed description and illustration that guides subsequent rezoning, subdivision, and development; Section 3.1 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. To provide a regional commercial site to meet market demand; To strategically locate a major Sports and Recreation Facility in order to best serve the community; To respect existing urban development and to facilitate a smooth transition from residential to commercial and industrial use; To develop unique servicing alternatives that are both economically and environmentally feasible. The amended Land Uses to achieve these objectives are shown in Figure 3. 3.2 OVERVIEW The form and character of the Sherring Business and Industrial Park are significantly influenced by the existing Pratt & Whitney development, the St. Mary River Irrigation District canal, the power line R.O.W. and the City’s desired location for the Major Sports and Recreation Facility. Commercial development is strategically located along 26th Avenue North, while the balance of the Outline Plan area will contain primarily industrial development, with a clear transition from business, to general, to heavy industrial, as you move north and east. The allocation of land use is shown in Appendix A. The Sherring Outline Plan Amendment proposes the integration of commercial and industrial development with existing and adjacent land uses to create a quality commercial, business and industrial park. 5 Section 3.2 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 3.3 LAND USE DESIGNATIONS 3.3.1 Business Industrial Business Industrial development will comprise approximately 32.8 ha (81.0 acres) or 16.9% of the Gross Developable Area and will act as the key transition use between existing and planned residential development to the west, and future general and heavy industrial development to the east. Business Industrial development typically includes light industrial, Section 3.3.1 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. warehousing and limited commercial uses. It is likely that the majority of the lots designated for Business Industrial development will be in the range of 0.2 to 1.2 ha (0.5-3.0 acres) in size. It is proposed that all lands designated for Business Industrial development in the amended Outline Plan area shall be re-districted from the current designations of I-G, General Industrial and I-H, Heavy Industrial to I-B, Business Industrial at an appropriate time prior to subdivision. The proposed zoning is shown in Figure 3. 3.3.2 General Industrial General Industrial development, comprising approximately 41.1 ha (101.6 acres), or 21.2% of the Gross developable Area, may include a range of uses, including manufacturing, processing, distribution and storage uses and related services. It is likely that the majority of the lots designated for General Industrial development will be in the range of 0.4 to 2.0 ha (1.0-5.0 acres) in size, but may be larger depending on user needs and demands. It is proposed that all lands designated for General Industrial development in the amended Outline Plan area shall be re-districted from the current designation of I-H, Heavy Industrial to I-G, General Industrial. The proposed zoning is shown in Figure 3. 6 Section 3.3.2 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 3.3.3 Heavy Industrial Heavy Industrial development, comprising of approximately 54.7 ha (135.2 acres), or 28.3% of the Gross Developable Area, is the predominant land use within the Outline Plan area, and may include a range of intensive manufacturing uses. Heavy Industrial development is typically seen as the least compatible with residential development, and therefore has the Section 3.3.3 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. greatest level of separation from residential development, with an appropriate scaling down of industrial uses as you move towards the residential area. It is likely that the majority of the lots designated for Heavy Industrial development will be in the range of 4.0 to 6.0 ha (10.0-15.0 acres) in size, however, the Land Use Concept has been designed to allow for the development of a small number of 6.0 to 24.0 ha (15.0-16.0 acres) Heavy Industrial lots if necessary. All lands designated for Heavy Industrial development in the amended Outline Plan area are currently designated I-H, Heavy Industrial therefore no re-districting is necessary. 3.3.4 Highway Commercial A regional commercial site, comprising of approximately 14.8 ha (36.6 acres) or 7.6% of the Outline Plan area, is to be located east of 28 Street North between 30 Avenue North and 26 Avenue North. This location will ensure high visibility and ease of access for residents of Uplands and surrounding neighborhoods as well as for industrial park employees, businesses and visitors to the Major Sports and Recreation Facility. Access to the commercial site can be accommodated from 26th Avenue North, 28th Street North, and 30th Avenue North. It is proposed that the Highway Commercial site be re-zoned from the current designations of C-N Neighborhood Commercial, I-B Business Industrial, and I-G General Industrial to C-H Highway Commercial. Notwithstanding the Discretionary Uses listed in the C-H District of the Land Use Bylaw, there shall be no residential uses permitted in the Sherring Business and Industrial Park. The proposed zoning is shown in Figure 3. 7 Section 3.3.4 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 3.3.5 Direct Control Although there are no areas currently designated for DC – Direct Control zoning, this type of zoning is often used to establish unique or specific development standards or to deal with nontypical development proposals. DC zoning may be appropriate in some areas of the Plan in order to accommodate specific uses, site standards, or development controls. Use of DC Zoning would not necessarily require an amendment to this plan, if it was in keeping with the intent of the existing designated land use. 3.3.6 Open Space System The Open Space System in the Sherring Outline Plan is comprised of three key elements, as shown in Figure 5, consisting of an integrated pathway network connecting local amenities and the highway commercial site, a Major Sports and Recreation Facility, which will be developed as a sports fields complex, and a landscape buffer along the east side of 28th Street North. Cumulatively, these elements account for approximately 16.0 ha (39.5 acres) or approximately 8.3% of the Plan area. Elements of the system are discussed below (Pathway Network is discussed in Section 4.3): 28th Street North Landscape Buffer – In order to facilitate the transition from residential development (Uplands) to commercial and industrial development, a 15.0 metre landscaped buffer strip is designated along the eastern edge of 28th Street North. This green corridor will provide visual amenity to the business and industrial park, and will include a 4-metre asphalt trail (as per the Pathway Network) and tree plantings as per City standards. The buffer strip is contained within the existing 75.0 metre R.O.W. for 28th Street North. The Major Sports and Recreation Facility also serves to provide a buffer between residential and industrial development. 8 Section 3.3.6 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 4.0 CIRCULATION NETWORK 4.1 ROADWAYS AND ACCESS POINTS The roadway circulation pattern for the Sherring Business and Industrial Park, comprising approximately 15.0 ha (37.1 acres) or 8.0% of the plan area, is premised on a simple grid pattern, which allows for the greatest level of internal circulation and flexibility in designing industrial developments and catering to the range of not only industrial needs (i.e. business, light and heavy industrial), but to commercial needs that are envisioned for the Sherring Outline Plan. A Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) was completed for the original Sherring Outline Plan. The Draft TIA update has been reviewed by the City of Lethbridge Transportation Department, and will be finalized to meet Outline Plan amendments and development approval requirements. The primary all-directional access points for the Sherring Outline Plan area will be from the adjacent arterial roadways which form the majority of the boundary for the Plan area. 26th Avenue North, which runs along the southern boundary of the Plan area, is designated as an urban arterial roadway and is currently developed to 2-lanes of the ultimate 4-lane urban standard. Along the western boundary, 28th Street North is also designated an urban arterial roadway and is also developed to 2-lanes of the ultimate 4-lane urban standard. 43rd Street North, running along the eastern boundary of the Plan area, and also designated as an urban arterial roadway, is currently developed to a 2-lane rural standard. The future 44th Avenue is currently undeveloped, but is designated as an urban arterial roadway in the City's Transportation Master Plan. This roadway as well as the other adjacent arterial roadways will be upgraded by the City of Lethbridge as warranted by traffic volume. 9 Section 4.1 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN The Sherring Outline Plan circulation network, as shown in Figure 5, illustrates a total of seven access points to the business and industrial park, namely: 36th Street North at 26th Avenue North (all-directional) 34th Street North at 26th Avenue North (all-directional) 30th Avenue North at 28th Street North (all-directional) 35th Avenue North at 28th Street North (all-directional) 32nd Street North at 44th Avenue North (all-directional) 36th Street North at 44th Avenue North (all-directional) 35th Avenue North at 43rd Street North (all-directional) * Note: all collector road names are based on an extension of the existing grid system and are tentative at this time - to be confirmed at subdivision stage by the City of Lethbridge. The majority of the roads within the plan area will be developed to an urban industrial collector standard, with a R.O.W. requirement of 20.0 metres, and a carriageway of 15.0 metres. Roads in the northeast or heavy industrial areas and pertinent general industrial areas of the Plan will be developed to an urban industrial-ditch standard, and will have a 20.0 metre R.O.W., with a 3.5 metre easement on both sides, and a 9.0 metre carriageway. 30th Avenue North adjacent to the Regional Commercial Site, will be developed to an urban ‘Super Collector’ standard with a 30.0 metre (or as approved by the City) R.O.W. Additional accesses to the arterial road network not identified in the Transportation Impact Assessment will be reviewed at the time of development permit and will only be allowed with the City of Lethbridge Transportation Department approval. The internal roadway network has been designed to respond to anticipated commercial and industrial land development needs. Those roads which are deemed to be necessary, and are fixed in terms of location and access points, are shown in dashed lines with no shading, as illustrated in Figure 5. 10 SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 4.2 RAIL LINE EXTENSION An existing rail line currently terminates just south of 26th Avenue North between 36th Street North and 39th Street North. It is proposed that the rail line may be extended north into the Sherring Business and Industrial Park, if demand from industrial users warrants. The proposed rail line would be designed and constructed to CP Rail standards, and would extend Section 4.2 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. north across 26th Avenue North, traveling north along the western boundary of Pratt & Whitney for approximately 400 metres, before heading west for approximately 400 metres, again heading north and traveling parallel to the east side of the existing power line R.O.W. to the northern boundary of the Plan area (just south of 44th Avenue North). This alignment allows for the greatest flexibility and opportunity to access the rail line for both general and heavy industrial users. The rail line alignment is shown in Figure 5. 4.3 PATHWAY NETWORK An integrated internal pathway network will link local amenities including the Major Sports and th Recreation Facility, 28 Street North buffer strip, and the Regional Commercial Site, and allow for pedestrian and non-motorized transportation and recreational opportunities along key corridors through the business and industrial park. The primary east-west connections will be developed along the southern edge of 35th Avenue North, and along 26th Avenue North and 30th Avenue North to provide access to the Regional Commercial Site. In addition, the pathway network will connect with the City’s regional trail system along 28th Street North. Regional trails within an arterial R.O.W. will be 4.0 metres in width and designed to current City Of Lethbridge standards. The pathway network is shown in Figure 5. 11 Section 4.3 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 4.4 INDUSTRIAL PARK ENTRANCE FEATURES Industrial Park entrance features help to provide residents, as well as visitors, a means of wayfinding, help to define and establish the character and sense of pride in an area, and contribute to the development of attractive industrial parks and the goals of initiatives such as Communities in Bloom. It is possible that entrance features may be developed at any of the access points discussed in Section 4.1, however, it is anticipated that entrance features are most likely to be developed at any or all of the following 4 key locations, as outlined below: 30th Avenue North and 28th Street North – this access will have the Major Sports and Recreation Facility at the northeast corner of the intersection and the commercial site at the southeast corner of the intersection, with access to the Uplands neighbourhood to the west. This is an ideal location for an entry feature as it will likely be a high volume intersection and access point to the business and industrial park. Northeast corner of the intersection of 26th Avenue North and 28th Street North. Much of the traffic destined for the Sherring Business and Industrial Park will be coming from the west and from the south, and a feature at this location will help to direct traffic to the key access points. 26th Avenue North and 36th Street North. 35th Avenue North and 43rd Street North. The entrance features may include any, or all, of the following elements: vegetation, fencing, and permanent signage, etc. All entrance feature vegetation shall be required to incorporate irrigation in order to be self-sustaining. In addition, the entrance features may be located either in the boulevard, on private property, or a combination thereof. Entrance features should be designed to be attractive and informative, yet should also be low maintenance and nonintrusive, ensuring that sight lines and access are not impeded. The detailed form and character of the entrance features will be determined at the subdivision stage through detailed design. 12 SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 4.5 TRANSIT Lethbridge Transit has indicated that they have no plans to extend any of their routes through or adjacent to the Sherring Business and Industrial Park at this time. The closest existing transit stops are located approximately at 23rd Street North and 26th Avenue North. LA Transit has indicated that they will be extending service through the Uplands neighbourhood, along Kodiak Boulevard. There could be an opportunity to extend transit service to 28th Street North and the new commercial development in consultation with Lethbridge Transit, should the market demand be identified. Lethbridge Transit has recently initiated the Lethbridge Transit and Paratransit Service Standards Study which will be completed in July, 2006. The study will consider servicing criteria for the City, including the potential for transit service to new development areas. The potential for transit service to the proposed commercial area in the Sherring Business and Industrial Park will be considered in conjunction with specific commercial development proposals. 4.6 COMMUNITY MAILBOXES The delivery of mail to new areas is achieved through the installation of community mailboxes. Installed by Canada Post at strategic locations throughout the industrial park, these facilities are intended to provide a convenient, accessible location for all property and business owners to retrieve their mail. In coordination with Canada Post, a number of tentative locations have been established for community mailboxes in the Outline Plan area, as shown in Figure 5. 13 Section 4.5 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 5.0 UTILITY SERVICING 5.1 WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION The water distribution system for the Sherring Outline Plan area will be connected to the existing City of Lethbridge water distribution system from 26 Avenue North and 28 Street North. The amended water network in the Sherring Business and Industrial Park adheres to the level of service objectives stated in the City of Lethbridge Design Standards 2004, including: • Section 5.1 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. Under peak hour demand (PHD) conditions pressures in the system shall not be less than 310 kPa. • Under maximum day demand (MDD) conditions pressures in the system shall not be less than 345 kPa. • Maximum Pressures in the system are not to exceed 620 kPa. Specific details of proposed water distribution pipe sizes and alignments for the Sherring Outline Plan Amendment are shown in Appendix B Drawing 1: Water Distribution System. Detailed hydraulic modeling of the Water Distribution Network for the amended areas was used to optimize the sizes of the proposed water mains in the system. The network was analyzed for the projected peak water demand and required fire flows in the system. The resulting system is composed largely of nominal 300 mm diameter pipe with a 400 mm / 500mm large diameter trunk system. Changes from the original approved Master Servicing Drawings reflect changes in demand due to land use, and roadway layout. 5.2 WATER SUPPLY FOR FIRE PROTECTION The Sherring Business and Industrial Park has been designed to meet standards and guidelines for development of this nature. The water distribution system has been sized to meet applicable fire flow requirements. The proposed design for the Sherring Outline Plan Amendment will provide a minimum flow of 300 l/s (available at the main) for fire protection purposes. 14 Section 5.2 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 5.3 SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM A single lift station adjacent to Stormwater Pond C will service the Sanitary Sewer Collection System for the entire Sherring Outline Plan area. The lift station will pump sewage west through a 2,100 m long force main to the Uplands Boulevard gravity trunk sewer. The lift station is sized for an ultimate sewage flow of 200 l/s. The proposed sewer system is sized to Section 5.3 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. service the land use arrangement proposed in this outline plan. In the original Outline Plan, certain sanitary flows within the development were directed south across 26th Avenue North into the existing system. At the request of the City of Lethbridge, the servicing concept was refined to reflect a more cost effective solution of having the entire industrial park serviced by a single lift station within the development. This change removed the requirement to service 25 hectares of the Sherring development with the existing lift station located at 24 Ave N and 39 St N. In the initial stages of development, low flows will be expected in the system. In order to mitigate some of the effects of the interim flow conditions, the lift station will be staged to ensure that lower flows remain manageable. Structural measures will be installed at the discharge of the proposed force main to mitigate potential odour issues that may arise before full build-out of the system. Further details regarding the Sanitary Sewer and Collection System are shown in Appendix B Drawing 2: Sanitary Sewer System. 5.4 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The stormwater management system will consist of three catchment areas, each contributing to dedicated storm ponds. Catchment A will be dedicated to the existing storm pond (Pond A) located at the southwest corner of 36 Street North and 26 Avenue North. Proposed Pond B is located on the future 32 Street North of 35 Avenue North and proposed Pond C is located at the eastern edge of the Outline Plan area on the future 35 Avenue North. Lands in Catchment C will be serviced by an overland ditch / swale system that will drain to Pond C with no minor system. Catchments A and B will be serviced by conventional dual drainage systems consisting of pipes and overland conveyance routes. The total allowable release rate from Ponds B and C will be 324 l/s. The flow will be pumped via force main and discharged to the Uplands Blvd Storm Trunk. Further detail of the stormwater management system is shown on Drawing 3: Stormwater Sewer System, Drawing 4: Storm Major Catchment Areas and Drawing 5: Stormwater Management System Overland Flow Routes in Appendix B. 15 Section 5.4 changed from the Sherring Business and Industrial Park Outline Plan adopted by Municipal Planning Commission July 6, 2004. SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN The original Stormwater Management Plan (UMA Engineering Ltd., 2004) directed 21.5 hectares of catchment to Pond A. With the Outline Plan amendments, only 0.18 hectares of roadway along the future 36th Street North will drain south to 26th Avenue, overland to the existing 26th Avenue North Storm Pond. A detailed summary of the stormwater management system is provided in the amended Stormwater Management Plan. 16 SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK OUTLINE PLAN 6.0 DEVELOPMENT STAGING AND IMPLEMENTATION The objectives of the staging and implementation programs are to ensure that the implementation of this Outline Plan Amendment proceeds in a coordinated and cost-effective manner, and that this Outline Plan remains current through active monitoring and review. This will help to ensure that future growth and land use decisions will reflect the needs and aspirations of the local business and industrial community. 6.1 TENTATIVE PHASING Generally, development will occur from south to north, and west to east, in line with the orderly and economical provision of municipal services, and in response to market demand. The current Phasing Plan is shown in Figure 4. Phase 1 – Recreation/ Playfield Facility was constructed in 2004/2005. Phase 2 is currently under construction. 6.2 REZONING AND SUBDIVISION The next step in the planning process will be to apply for appropriate re-districting, consistent with the land use designations and descriptions provided within the Sherring Outline Plan and the Sherring ASP, and as per the process outlined in the City of Lethbridge Land Use Bylaw (Bylaw No. 4100). Rezoning and subdivision applications will be advanced for specific stages in response to market demand. Applications may be made concurrently or separately, depending upon timing and need. Proposed zoning is shown in Figure 5. 6.3 AMENDING THE PLAN The Sherring Outline Plan is intended to provide a detailed description and illustration of development issues such as land use, circulation, and open space development. However, the plan may be updated to reflect future market conditions. Accordingly, it is important to create a flexible plan that gives a level of certainty to landowners and the community, yet also allows for appropriate change as necessary. As Outline Plans are not a statutory plan under the Municipal Government Act, determining the regulations and requirements for adopting and amending an Outline Plan are the responsibility of the municipality. The City of Lethbridge Municipal Planning Commission currently approves Outline Plan Amendments. 17 SHERRING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK PROPOSED OUTLINE PLAN APPENDIX A Land Use Allocation Statistics Sherring Business and Industrial Area Revised Land Use Allocation Statistics – February 28, 2006 Use Gross Area Undevelopable Lands Gross Developable Lands Hectares 193.6 / 193.6 % 100% / 100% Subtotal Highway Commercial 14.8 7.6% Industrial Business Industrial General Industrial Heavy Industrial Subtotal Industrial 32.8 41.1 54.7 128.6 16.9% 21.2% 28.3% 66.4% Open Space Major Sports and Recreation Facility/ Sports Fields Complex E-W Irrigation line ROW Subtotal Open Space 16 0.8 16.8 8.3% 0.4% 8.7% Other Uses Storm Pond B (west) Storm Pond C (east) Rail Line ROW Power Sub-station Circulation N-S Power Line ROW E-W Power Line ROW 28th St. North Road Widening (18m) Subtotal Other Uses 2.0 3.3 3.0 0.8 15 3.2 0.8 5.3 33.4 1.0% 1.7% 1.5% 0.4% 8.0% 1.6% 0.4% 2.7% 17.3% TOTAL 193.6 100% *All numbers are approximate and are subject to refinement and minor revision.
