Consultation has concluded

To support future decision-making and to provide clear guidance to property owners and developers, creating a neighbourhood plan will ensure there is a unified vision for how Yarrow develops over time. The neighbourhood plan will build on the City’s overarching 2040 Official Community Plan (OCP) vision for this area as well as clarify expectations with respect to new development. The neighbourhood plan will address a wide range of issues relating to Yarrow including, but not limited to:

  • Refining the land use vision for Yarrow, including a review of properties with split OCP designations/ zoning and the transition between different land uses, older and newer development;
  • Parameters for new development and lot configurations with realistic expectations (respecting sewer and water servicing constraints);
  • Rural/ urban interface challenges and strategies to address them;
  • Environmental issues such as watercourses, species at risk, protection/ restoration, natural and storm water management, trees, flood risk, waste/ energy reduction, Electric Vehicle charging capability, etc.; and,
  • Opportunities to improve road / sidewalk connectivity, mobility and safety.

Council adopted the Yarrow Neighbourhood Plan on June 21, 2022.

    Yarrow Community Survey

    The City has embarked on a planning process to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for Yarrow. The purpose of the Plan is to review existing neighbourhood conditions and provide clear direction for future decision-making on land use, development, and neighbourhood character. The Plan will be adopted as a bylaw under the Official Community Plan. 

    To inform the Neighbourhood Plan, the City has prepared a community survey to provide an opportunity for Yarrow residents to share their vision and goals for the future of the neighbourhood. Feedback collected through this survey will help the City to understand community values and identify opportunities for ensuring Yarrow remains a complete, healthy, and safe community.
