At their meeting on February 25th, Council directed staff to prepare an Area Plan for the North 256 Street Lands focused on industrial uses. The project involves completing an area plan for the North 256 Street Industrial Lands to facilitate its development largely in the form of industrial uses, while recognizing long-standing institutional users, potential new associated or supportive uses and amenities, and existing environmental features and recreational activities in the area. The major work components, including technical analysis and interest holder engagement, are outlined in the report, including the components of the area plan and timelines. It is anticipated that to complete the Area Plan it would take approximately 20 months, starting in early 2025 and finishing by late 2026. 

Additional information can be found in the  full report by City staff.
