The proposed 205-hectare land use plan within the communities of Silverado and Belmont, along the west side of Macleod Trail SW, includes a variety of uses to allow for:

• 109.87 hectares for wetland protection
• 17.83 hectares designated for a future regional park
• 51.23 hectares allocated for two future Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations and LRT maintenance and storage facility, a future bus maintenance and storage facility and a future City operations workplace center
• 20.77 hectares for mixed-use and residential development, intended for future marketing and sale
• The plan will also identify the location and size of public roads and pathways, including plans for future interchanges at Macleod Trail and 194 Avenue SW Interchange and Macleod Trail and 210 Avenue SW

The application will be reviewed against the Municipal Development Plan and two area structure plans (ASPs): the Southwest Community ‘A’ and Employment Centre ASP and the West Macleod ASP.

The application will progress through a regulatory process overseen by a file manager on behalf of the development application review team. It is circulated for comment to Councillor offices, business improvement areas, community associations, the Province of Alberta, and utility companies, as applicable. Feedback and input summarized from applicant-led outreach activities are also considered as part of this review. The file then proceeds to Calgary Planning Commission for a recommendation before advancing to Council for a final decision during a public hearing.

Follow the application status and provide comments directly to the development application review team at https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=LOC2024-0217.

The decision has been made to maximize the development potential of this land, balancing community and environmental needs with corporate priorities. While the main framework for the submission has largely been established within this set direction, a public open house is planned to introduce the proposed concept to interested members of the public, allowing them to ask questions and provide input. The applicant team will be there to listen and learn, gathering insights into community perspectives to inform potential adjustments to the plan. Sign up below to receive details about the open house once it's scheduled.

We are also reaching out to directly impacted persons; please contact us if you feel you should be included and have not yet heard from us.
