The West Hills Community Area Structure Plan area is located on the west side of Airdrie adjacent to the communities of Bayside, Bayview and Sagewood running adjacent to the 24 Street transit and utility corridor which has been identified as a future connection to The City of Calgary.
The area is described as a diverse landscape that includes mountain views, wetlands and greenspaces. Predominantly identified as a residential area, the exceptional city and mountain views along with slope-adaptive housing designs in this CASP will help contribute to a wide range of interesting and innovative housing inventory in Airdrie.
The West Hills CASP area is anticipated to be home to more than 18,000 people at full build out.
The City has received an application to expand the boundaries of the existing West Hills Community Area Structure Plan (CASP). The proposed amendment seeks to add the three adjacent quarter sections to the west (from Range Road 13 to the existing plan boundary) and ± 40 ha (99 acres) of land to the north (south of Veterans Boulevard and adjacent to 24th Street). Please refer to the context map attached. The additional area will be an extension of the planned residential neighbourhood uses.
The West Hills CASP is currently in the CASP approval stages.
As part of the upcoming planning process, the developers will be soliciting feedback from the public on the proposed plans. It is important that you take the opportunity to participate in shaping how our community grows.
