Harbourside progress update: February 18 – March 1

A summary of what’s happening in the Harbourside planning process.


Meetings with ACDI & ADP

With the support of the Integrated Transportation Committee (ITC), Advisory Planning Committee (APC) and Parks and Environment Advisory Committee (PEAC), the team recently met again with the remaining two advisory bodies to review comments previously made and to provide further information. 

The team received the unanimous support of both the Advisory Committee on Disability Issues (ACDI) and the Advisory Design Panel (ADP) as well as constructive feedback. Although not a requirement, Concert has made a commitment to continue meeting with ACDI throughout the various development permit stages to ensure they are able to provide meaningful input. 

We are pleased to now have the support of all five advisory bodies as we move into the rezoning process. 


Finalization of DPA guidelines

The team circulated a second draft of the Development Permit Area (DPA) guidelines document to City staff and the various advisory bodies for their review early in February. Having had a chance to meet individually with each advisory body again, the team is now working to incorporate their feedback. Once completed, City staff will finalize the document for Council’s consideration at the future Public Hearing. 

DPA guidelines control the form and character of a development in addition to regulating the look and feel of the surrounding public realm.
