Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area 10 Community Design Plan

The Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area 10 Community Design Plan (CDP) has been prepared by the Mer Bleue Land Owners Group (MBLOG), in collaboration with the City of Ottawa. The CDP is intended to demonstrate how development of the Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area 10 (MBUEA) will achieve the requirements of the Official Plan. The CDP also provides a planning framework for the implementation of Official Plan policy through the subsequent development approvals process and will therefore be used as a guide for the preparation and review of future applications for development. The Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area 10 (MBUEA) is located south of the established urban area and is approximately 219 hectares (540 acres) in area, extending between Mer Bleue Road and Tenth Line Road and north of the village of Notre-Dames -des-Champes. The MBUEA is envisioned as a contemporary master-planned community of approximately 3,500 units that could accommodate up to approximately 10,000 residents. The overall community design is structured around McKinnons Creek and provides for a range of housing in conjunction with parks and schools that are distributed throughout the community to allow for access by walking and cycling. To facilitate active transportation, neighbourhoods will be connected by a comprehensive pathway system following the street network and creek corridor.A re-aligned Wall Road, together with new collector streets, will provide for an integrated road network that connects with existing and planned urban areas to the west and north.
