S1- Barrhaven South - West of Greenbank - Future Neighbourhood

S1 Barrhaven South – Phase 3

This page will be your hub for all documents, opportunities to engage and other information related to the neighbourhood plan for Barrhaven South – Phase 3.

Phase 3 is identified as S-1 on the map below, located as a continuation of the South Barrhaven area. It is roughly 130 hectares (320 acres). Main features to be considered in the planning of this neighbourhood are its integration into the existing Barrhaven neighbourhood, the industrial and logistics areas and its location along the highway.

Background

The Study

A secondary planning process has been initiated for the development of the S1 Future Neighbourhood (also referred to as Barrhaven South Phase 3). S1 is a group of properties that were identified for urban expansion in the City of Ottawa Official Plan (2022).

Along with satisfying the necessary prerequisites for lifting the Future Neighbourhood Overlay established in the Official Plan, the study will also satisfy Master Plan Environmental Assessment Approach 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.

The Environmental Assessment Master Plan

The Environmental Assessment Master Plan will identify the recommended transportation, water, sanitary, and stormwater infrastructure required to service the new community.

The Environmental Assessment Master Plan will be integrated with Planning Act approvals for future development of the land to allow for coordination of land use and infrastructure planning. The environmental assessment process will proceed under Master Plan Approach 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, which fulfills Phase 1 (Problem or Opportunity) and Phase 2 (Alternative Solutions). The level of study detail in a Master Plan Environmental Assessment Approach 2 is sufficient to fulfill requirements for any Schedule B projects identified within the Master Plan.
