Calgary Transportation Plan

TOD PlanningIn June 2007 Council approved a work program to develop Station Area Plans for 6 priority LRT stations.These plans were meant to address developer interest in these areas and to help facilitate the City of Calgary`s objectives of sustainable growth.• Chinook (plan approved by Council June 2008)• Brentwood (plan approved by Council Nov. 2009)• Banff Trail (Proposed Plan Dec. 2010)• Anderson (Draft plan 2011)• Canyon Meadows (not proceeding)• Lions Park (not proceeding)

Municipal Development PlanAn integrated approach to land use and mobility

On 2009 September 28, City Council approved a new Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). The new MDP came effective April 1, 2010. Together, these documents provide a long-term strategy for a more sustainable city through the integration of land use and mobility policies.

The MDP proposes a more compact urban form for Calgary bylocating a portion of new housing and jobs within higher intensity, mixed-use areas that are well connected to the Primary Transit Network. The Banff Trail Station area is within a Major Activity Centre and along the Primary Transit Network (LRT).

Banff Trail/Motel VillageArea Redevelopment Plan

The community of Banff Trail currently has an AreaRedevelopment Plan (ARP), originally approved by City Council in 1986, which includes both the residential community and the Motel Village commercial area. This ARP will continue to guide development within the residential community.

The proposed Banff Trail Station ARP, will provide guidance to the evolution of the Motel Village area into a mixed used transit oriented community with a variety of jobs and housing forms.

Banff Trail Station Area Redevelopment Plan

The Proposed Banff Trail Station ARP will provide land use and mobility direction for an area between 16 Avenue N.W., north to 24 Avenue N.W. from Crowchild Trail east to the LRT tracks.



Banff Trail Station Area Redevelopment PlanCommunity and Stakeholder Engagement

The City of Calgary was been working the community of Banff Trail and Motel Village property owners since late 2007.

Over the Fall and Winter of 2009/2010, Land Use Planningand Policy, in partnership with several City of Calgary departments, worked with local commercial property owners and the Banff Trail Community Association to review and rework a preliminary draft plan. Based on this stakeholder dialogue and feedback, a Draft document was reviewed by the by the public, community residents and other area stakeholders in May and June 2010.

These comments have been included into the Proposed ARP. This Proposed ARP is the fi nal recommended plan by Land Use Planning and Policy and will be presented, as displayed today, to Calgary Planning Commission and to City Council at a Public Hearing.

Any changes to this Proposed ARP would have to made by City Council after the Public Hearing.

Banff Trail Station Area Redevelopment PlanPlans Concepts and PoliciesIn 2008, a Visioning Session and Land Use Exercise with local residents, commercial property owners and other area stakeholders produced a Vision and a set of Guiding Principles for policy creation.

Vision

Guiding Principles

Banff Trail Station Area will become the heartland for the community: a gathering place where residents and tourists can shop, dine, work, be entertained, and meet their daily needs. It will overcome the stigma of being an unattractive “Motel Village” and auto-dominated environment to become a safe, mixed use, well-connected and pedestrian-friendly, place. Existing residential community character will be preserved, while places with an opportunity to change will enhance the area.

• Introduce an integrated street network• Prioritize modes of transportation• Creating vibrant pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets• Creating great open spaces• Ensure accessibility in the public realm• Incorporate public art

• Establish land use precincts• Facilitate a broad mix of transit supportive uses• Ensure appropriate ground level uses and design• Manage parking• Ensure transit supportive density• Include a variety of building types

• Integrate with community• Ensure quality building design• Green infrastructure and green

buildings• Create a diverse and inclusive

community• Make it happen
