The Council of the Town of Bentley has given first reading to By-law No. 249/2024 (Sunset Heights Area Structure Plan).
The new bylaw will replace and repeal By-law No. 178/2014 (Summersault Area Structure Plan) if approved.
According to the Town of Bentley, the Sunset Heights Areas Structure Plan has been created to better reflect current community priorities and align with market conditions for housing and development needs of the community, while also considering additional recreation amenities for youth. These amendments are the result of extensive community engagement gathered through the strategic planning process including survey and public information sessions, and through a survey undertaken specifically for the review of the Summersault Area Structure Plan. Key changes include:
- Variety of housing types for current and future residents with diverse family structures and income levels
- Potential for Multi-unit in proximity to added recreational space.
- Neighborhood park and open space corridor continues to act as stormwater drainage channel to tie into existing retention pond.
- Better flow of both active and passive transportation networks through continuous road extensions of 47A St and 46th St as well as consideration for trail network.
- Incorporation of New Soccer Field and Recreation Space based on public feedback and input.
