The Redistricting Map shows a large yellow area behind my house and identifies it as a neighbourhood. I thought it was going to be a linear park around the Leblanc Canal. Can you explain?

The yellow area shown on the Redistricting Map is proposed to be redistricted to Conventional Neighbourhood District according to the land use concept (Figure 4, p. 10) of the Ruisseau Outline Plan, which was approved by Council in 2013. 

Redistricting is the next step in the development process after the Outline Plan has been approved. Redistricting implements the land use concept by amending the Land Use Bylaw so the district that applies to the land allows the development that is shown in the land use concept. Agricultural Holdings district allows mainly farming uses, so the land shown in yellow on the redistricting map is proposed to be rezoned to Conventional Neighbourhood to permit a residential area. Because Conventional Neighbourhood allows all the housing, stormwater management facilities, and park uses that were planned for that area in the land use concept, these land uses are all covered by the yellow area on the redistricting map. The land use concept provides more detail on what land uses are planned for what area of Ruisseau.
