Description: Urban Containment Policy Area: Includes residential, general employment, commercial and industrial lands, as well as other associated land uses. The Urban Containment Policy Area is intended to accommodate 95% of the region’s new dwelling units. Within the Urban Containment Policy Area, planned growth and major new transportation infrastructure investments will be encouraged to align with the settlement concept shown on Map 3(b).Municipalities will determine the precise land use, intensification, density, servicing and connectivity requirements through local planning and regulatory processes.
The Regional Growth Strategy restricts extension of urban–standard sanitary sewerage services beyond the Urban Containment Policy Area Boundary as set out under policy 2.2(5). Within the Urban Containment Policy Area, employment and population growth is to be accommodated in complete communities, as per the criteria set out in Objective 3.1. Complete communities are intended to accommodate housing, jobs and services at densities that will support transit. Accommodating growth in complete communities is central to reducing community-based greenhouse gas emissions, reducing development pressure on rural and resource lands and keeping infrastructure affordable. Where Capital Green Lands and Renewable Resource Lands Policy Areas overlap with the Urban Containment Policy Area, the land use policy for the Capital Green Lands and Renewable Resource Lands Policy Areas shall take precedence. Liquid waste service may beprovided to such lands within the Urban Containment Policy Area provided it is for a purposeconsistent with the land use designations for the Capital Green Lands and Renewable Resource Lands Policy Areas.
