SILVERDALE NEIGHBOURHOOD ONE PLAN - District of Mission

1.6 Planning ProcessThe Silverdale Neighbourhood One plan was developed throughfive phases of planning, each building upon the previous phase ofwork: Phase 1 generated a set of planning principles that reflectthe core values of the plan (see section 4). Phase 2 produced a statement of goals and objectives thataddress community issues in addition to setting clear directionfor design. Following articulation of goals and objectives, apreliminary development program (i.e. # of housing types,commercial space, parks, etc.) was developed to focusdesign efforts in Phase 3. This work was combined withpreliminary ‘opportunities and constraints’ studies thatdescribed physical attributes, environmental conditions,market demand, population projections and access andinfrastructure. Phase 3 employed a series of design workshops to createdesign options for the neighbourhood plan. The final conceptplan was developed based on technical analysis as well asthe feedback from the Neighbourhood Planning AdvisoryCommittee, District Council, staff, and various stakeholders. Phase 4 involved the drafting of the neighbourhooddocument. Technical studies were finalized and policies andguidelines were developed to ensure the plan is executed asenvisioned. Phase 5 is the final consideration of the plan by the public ata public hearing and a decision by Council. If approved, thedevelopment applicant and other landowners will be able toproceed through the next stages of the development process(i.e. rezoning, subdivision, etc.).Silverdale Neighbourhood One Plan | DRAFT July 15, 2008 | 6
