neighbourhood parks, community knowledge campuses,

2.2 Airport Protection Overlay – Edmonton
International Airport
The Windermere ASP lies entirely outside the
Edmonton International Airport Vicinity Protection
Area; there is no restriction on residential
development within the plan area arising from this
regulation.
2.3 Suburban Neighbourhood Design Principles
The City of Edmonton’s Suburban Neighbourhood Design
Principles (1996) report describes a series of general principles
used to guide the sustainable design of suburban
neighbourhoods. These principles cover infrastructure, community
facilities, roadways, bicycle and pedestrian linkages, transit
service, institutional and school / park sites, housing, population
projection and student generation as they relate to suburban
neighbourhoods in Edmonton. The Windermere ASP has been
designed and planned to incorporate these principles as they
relate to concepts of Smart Growth, Transit and Pedestrian
Oriented Development. Subsequent Neighbourhood Structure
Plans (NSPs) will incorporate the Suburban Neighbourhood
Design Principles.
2.4 Environmental Policies and Practices
The City of Edmonton’s Inventory of
Environmentally Sensitive and Significant Natural
Areas (1993) identifies four Local Environmentally
Sensitive Areas within the Windermere ASP
(SW1, SW2, SW 40 and SW 51). Accordingly, in
accordance with City Policy C-467, Conservation
of Natural Sites in Edmonton’s Table Lands, a
Stage 2 Detailed Natural Site Assessment (NSA)
must be completed for these areas prior to the
approval of any neighbourhood structure plans.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) have been
prepared for portions of the Plan area, particularly areas north of
Ellerslie Road. Further site assessments will be required for the
remaining areas upon submission of Neighbourhood Structure
Plans.
For areas of the Plan that are adjacent to the North Saskatchewan
River, the Whitemud Creek and other tributaries, the policies
contained in the North Saskatchewan River Valley Area
Development Plan, Bylaw 7188 shall apply. In accordance with
regulations of the Municipal Government Act and the City’s Topof-the
Bank Public Roadway Policy in effect, these lands will be
