City of Little Canada 2-14 Land Use Plan Staged Infill Growth and Redevelopment This section describes the general locations, types, amounts and timing of potential infill growth and redevelopment, including relationships to the Local Sewer Plan and the city’s share of the regional need for affordable housing for 2021 through 2030. Locations Likely Available for New Development Locations: Infill development and redevelopment are likely to occur in Planning Districts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 12 between 2018 and 2040. See the map below for the locations of those districts. The following section, Land Use Plan by District, also describes locations and types of potential development. Scattered changes may occur in other Planning Districts. Types: Growth will include housing, retail or service business, and industry. Some of this growth will be intensifying previous construction, some will be replacing previous buildings and some will be construction on previously undeveloped sites. Amounts: That potential growth has been included in Table 2-6, Forecasts of Population, Households and Employment; in Table 2-5, Forecast of Acreage by Land Use Type 2020 to 2040; and detailed in Table 2-6, below. If the 21-acre farm site in District 9 becomes entirely housing instead of being equally housing and industry, these figures would change accordingly. Timing: It is not possible to say with confidence when such growth may occur. Those decisions are up to the private market. Because all necessary public infrastructure is in place, the City cannot manage the timing of growth. None of this growth would require an extension of the Urban Service area nor regional infrastructure for roads, sewers or surface water management.
