As noted in previous newsletters, updates to the Fleetwood Plan received First and Second Readings on October 16. On November 20, Council adopted the proposed changes to the existing Stage 1 Fleetwood Plan, which include amendments to Land Use, Transportation, as well as Parks and Open Space Concepts. Proposed changes include:

• Revisions to land use designations;
• Adjustments to the road and cycling networks;
• Refinements to the location of parkland;
• Relocation of Fire Hall 6;
• Identification of potential future school sites; and
• Introduction of a community amenity contribution for transit supportive amenities and infrastructure.
• The proposed transit CAC is $1,750 per dwelling unit for residential developments (non-residential developments are excluded).

City staff will now begin to complete the Stage 2 planning components including utilities servicing studies, Traffic Impact Assessment, Rapid Transit Amenity Study, SkyTrain Urban Interface and Noise Desing Guidelines, Urban Design Guidelines, as well as a Parks, Recreation and Culture Amenity Study. The final Fleetwood Plan is anticipated for Council consideration in 2024.
