Phase 4 is identified in red on the map below, located as a continuation of the Barrhaven area. It is roughly 74 hectares (181 acres).

Background

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 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 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).
