A large-scale development proposal that was defeated by Foothills County council last year is back.
Walton, the developer of the Oxbow Area Structure Plan, is hosting two information sessions next week to share an updated concept for the proposed development in the northeast part of the county.
An in-person session will be held on Tuesday, May 7 from 4-8 p.m. at the Davisburg Community Hall, 258117–96 St. East. It will be a drop-in format with no formal presentation. No registration is required.
There will also be a virtual session on Thursday, May 9 from 7-8 p.m. Register to receive the Zoom link at oxbowASP.eventbrite.ca.
The original proposal at the east end of Dunbow Road included 4,000 residential units, 60 kilometres of pedestrian infrastructure, two school sites, three mixed-use nodes and a publicly accessible riverfront park.
The proposal was the subject of a six-hour public hearing in January of 2023 during which speakers voiced various concerns, including over the scope and density of the project, traffic impacts and more.
Foothills County council ended up defeating the proposal in a subsequent 4-3 vote.
Since that time, the developer has evaluated the feedback and is preparing to resubmit an application to Foothills County.
