/

The City of Peterborough is launching a new interactive StoryMap detailing its plans for its Strategic Growth Areas, released on Wednesday.

SCreenshot.

The StoryMap features maps and 3D concepts to help visualize key areas of future growth according to the City of Peterborough.

The City is streamlining the development approvals process in areas identified as Strategic Growth Areas in the City’s Official Plan through the Secondary Plan and Community Planning Permit By-law.

These areas include: 

  • The Central Area (Downtown and East City)

  • Water Street North Corridor

  • Chemong Road Corridor

  • Clonsilla Avenue and Charlotte Street Corridor

  • Lansdowne Street Corridor

  • Armour Road (North) Corridor

The City says that users can provide feedback on the draft Secondary Plan concept for land use, proposed building heights, parks and open space and priorities for development through StoryMap. Participants can also share comments on how growth and development decisions are made through an online survey and mapping poll.

Information in the StoryMap was shared during a public information session on the City’s Strategic Growth Areas held on Feb. 6, at the Healthy Planet Arena.

More information about this project, including a presentation during the February 6 meeting and the online survey, can be found at connectptbo.ca/planning-for-the-future.
