At their meeting on November 4th, Council received a report for information and authorized staff to initiate technical background studies in advance of the preparation of a Neighbourhood Concept Plan process for Grandview Heights Area #5. Grandview Heights Area #5 (the “Area”) is characterized by suburban land uses and requires a significant amount of servicing and infrastructure upgrades to enable redevelopment. The Area falls within multiple existing utility catchment areas, which are currently (or will be) serviced through adjacent Grandview Heights NCP areas. In particular, the Area will rely on the utility servicing for the North Grandview, Redwood Heights, and Darts Hill NCP areas, which are currently in the planning stage, and have not yet begun construction.   

In preparation of formal planning within the Area, staff will initiate background studies to provide the necessary context and analysis including an Environmental Assessment, Market Study and Utility Servicing.    

A map of the Grandview Heights Area #5 is highlighted below:
