Environmental Open Space Policies Progress Report (item 3.2)

The Committee received The Environmental Open Spaces report for information. One of the main purposes to the report is to ensure that there is a consistent ruling on all Environmental Open Space policies, including wetlands and stream courses. Administration is working with the Alberta government to develop consistent guidelines.

Committee recommended that Council also receive the report and direct administration to report back through the Committee with a status update in October 2015 and to report back on the Environmental Open Spaces work program no later than March 2016. Administration will ensure that all stakeholders are brought to the table to develop this report, including developers, the Urban Development Institute, the legal community and community groups.
