Option 1 - Townhouses Only

This option proposes three-storey townhomes with a maximum height of 15m on both Parcel A & B, using the Cochrane Land Use Bylaw District, Residential Medium Density (R-MD).

This option results in:

  • Improved compatibility of height with existing homes in the Willows.

  • Uniform height across both parcel A and parcel B.

  • Reduced massing improves sunlight permeability.

  • Built form aligns with existing development in Southern Cochrane.

  • Grades are lowered across both parcels.

Option 2 - Predominantly Townhouse with Multi-Family fronting James Walker

This option proposes predominantly three-storey townhomes with a maximum height of 15m with a small portion of a taller multi-family product located along James Walker Trail within parcel A. The maximum height of this portion of development would be 25m (approx. four-storeys). This option would utilize two districts from the Cochrane Land Use Bylaw, Residential Medium Density (R-MD) and Residential High Density (R-HD), with the R-HD site subdivided to provide certainty on location of taller buildings.

This option results in:

  • More density and height focused towards the Village Centre, Employment Area and future schools.

  • Height has been located away from existing residents and moved towards James Walker Trail.

  • Works towards achieving overall density required by the Area Structure Plan.

  • Aligns with Town policies that look to create a greater mix of housing types.

  • Greater population that will help to support future commercial.

  • Grades lowered across both parcels.
