On September 17, 2024, Council held a public hearing to hear submissions regarding the proposed Area Structure Plan (ASP) for GreenTree, an approximately 150 acre portion of land located in the southeast part of the community, along 45th Avenue and Range Road 223. The ASP lays out the general land use areas, primary and secondary roadway network, and a pathway system to support a sustainable new community in southern Coalhurst. The plan is intended to positively integrate with existing development surrounding and within the Plan Area and provide for meaningful future employment opportunities in Town.
The ASP is not intended to provide detailed design of community spaces, but rather a flexible approach to land use areas that can evolve with potential Land Use Bylaw changes over time, so long as the overall vision and core values of the Plan are maintained. The GreenTree ASP includes a mix of residential, commercial and green spaces.
After receiving feedback from members of the public and interested parties (such as utility providers, Lethbridge County, Alberta Health Services, Alberta Transportation and the Lethbridge North Irrigation District), the public hearing was closed.
During the Regular Meeting that followed the public hearing, Council approved minor amendments to the proposed bylaw for clarification purposes, and then gave the bylaw second and third reading, as amended.
