Background

In 2021, Council approved expansion to the urban boundary across the City including the Bowesville - Riverside South area.

The City of Ottawa Official Plan sets out a process to develop new communities. The process begins with a proponent-initiated Community Design Plan. The purpose of a Community Design Plan is to establish a community-wide land-use framework that reflects the principles, objectives and policies for community development as directed by the Official Plan. The Community Design Plan enables communities to establish incrementally over time in an optimum and coordinated manner.
