Stony Mountain Site B Land-use Concept, Manitoba

Introduction

The Rural Municipality (RM) of Rockwood contracted Nadi Group to develop a land-use concept plan on a local residential site. The plan will provide land developers, home builders, and community members with the tools to ensure the growth and development of the site will occur in a well-planned, integrated and environmentally sound manner.

Project Summary

An important consideration is to respect the natural topography and intrinsic beauty of the forested ‘gem’ within the center of the site. The future-oriented plan also embraces an innovative approach in creating a complete community. Our vision for this 33.7-acre parcel supports four main goals, forming the basis for the master plan concept and its guiding policies:

• To deliver an attractive, inclusive neighborhood - Unique character with a unique lifestyle and recreational amenities.
• To deliver a thriving community – Strong focus on family values and aging-in-place concepts.
• To deliver a healthy, livable and resilient environment – Opportunities for seamless connectivity with ease of walking to beautiful public spaces.
• To deliver a vibrant, sustainable housing – Diverse range of adaptable housing options.

The Nadi Group developed the plan in consultation with a range of stakeholders, including the landowner, the RM of Rockwood, and the Stony Mountain Town Council that were actively engaged in sharing their vision and interests for the future development of Stony Mountain.

Our Role

Our role is to conduct regional context and site analyses, develop planning visions, goals and guiding principles, create and refine a concept land-use plan options, and eventually complete the Secondary Plan document. This project was completed in the spring of 2021.
