Westview Area Structure Plan - development opportunities
30+ acres of opportunities for mixed residential
The Town of Nanton welcomes proposals for the purchase and development of a portion or all of the remaining developable town-owned lands within the boundaries of the Westview Area Structure Plan. The Town welcomes development proposals on an ongoing basis from qualified firms for the opportunity to purchase and develop a phase located on the west side of the Town, bounded to the south by Highway 533 and to the east by 29th Avenue.
The land is open to a variety of different types of housing and anchor uses and the Town is open to a variety of different types of proposal, as well as hearing from interested intermediaries.
The following vision statement summarizes the desired outcome for Westview:
“Westview is a master planned community designed with traditional small-town values that will create a thriving neighbourhood with excellent amenities.”
The Development Concept Plan (in the Westview ASP) proposes a series of predominately residential land uses that seek to appeal to a wide range of income levels, family or household structures, and lifecycle stages. Taken as a whole, Westview provides the opportunity to live and work within the same community. It also integrates a network of environmental and recreation spaces. Overall, the intention is to promote neighbourly relationships and connection with the landscape by focusing on community and transitions between public and private spaces.
The Town will examine proposals and prioritize them according to architectural proposals, market demand for the proposed uses and the optimal benefit to the Town’s economy, property tax base and long-term demographic health that supports the local K-12 school system. The Town will consider redistricting land that maximizes economically, socially and environmentally sound outcomes.
Note: All land-use changes will require municipal approvals. Accepting a proposal does not guarantee the proposed project meets required Town standards or will be approved by the Town. The obtaining of said approvals shall be at the sole risk of the proposer. The Town will also emphasize the type of neighbourhood commercial offerings (M-TRN mixed use transition districting), architectural design, and thoughtful site planning of the land. The Town may require restrictive covenants running with the land to ensure the uses and architectural standards are as mutually agreed for an agreed minimum period of time.
