The original Hollick-Kenyon
Neighbourhood Structure Plan was
approved in 1991.
Recent amendments to the
Neighbourhood Structure Plan which
added 12.5 hectares of land to the
neighbourhood, and the loss of the Little
Mountain natural area have focused
public concern on future development in
the northeast part of the neighbourhood,
especially the land uses proposed around
Little Mountain Cemetery.
The attached Terms of Reference for
Northeast Hollick-Kenyon Planning
Study, outline a process for reviewing
and recommending changes to land uses
in the northeast part of Hollick-Kenyon.
The proposed Planning Study provides
for consultation at key stages of the
following stakeholder groups: HollickKenyon residents, property-owners, and
Little Mountain Cemetery families and
plot owners.
The proposed Planning Study will
address the following matters: the
amount of medium density housing in
Hollick-Kenyon; proposed expansion of
the cemetery; the type of land uses
around the cemetery; buffering around
the perimeter of the cemetery; future
access to the cemetery; possible changes
to local roadways; and school site
requirements in Hollick-Kenyon.
The Planning Study will recommend a
revised land use and local roadway plan
for northeast Hollick-Kenyon.
