NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT & PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan for Barrhaven South Phase 4 Future Neighbourhood (S2 Lands)
The Study
The City of Ottawa has initiated a secondary planning process for the development of Barrhaven South Phase 4 (also referred to as the “S2 Lands”), composed of a group of properties identified for urban expansion in the City of Ottawa Official Plan (2022). Along with satisfying the necessary prerequisites established in the Official Plan, a Master Plan will be prepared in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Act.
The EA Master Plan
The EA Master Plan will identify the recommended transportation, water, sanitary, and stormwater infrastructure required to service the new community. The Master Plan approval under the Environmental Assessment Act will be integrated with Planning Act approvals for future development of the land to allow for coordination of land use and infrastructure planning. The approval process will proceed under Approach 2 of the Environmental Assessment Act, which fulfills Phase 1 (Problem or Opportunity) and Phase 2 (Alternative Solutions).
Public Consultation and Second Public Open House
Consultation with the public is a key component of this study. You are invited to attend a public open house to present the study process, including the EA Master Plan process, the existing environmental, infrastructure, transportation, and planning conditions, and the problems and opportunities to be addressed.
Date: Wednesday, February 12, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (drop-in format, with a brief introductory presentation at 6:00 PM)
Location: Walter Baker Sports Centre, Food Court, 100 Malvern Drive, Ottawa, ON, K2J 2G5
How to Participate
