Campus Communities is in the early stages of discussions with the City, neighbours and stakeholders on our development plans for the eastern portion of UFV’s CEP campus. We plan to build a unified vision of the future use of the lands and look forward to chatting with friends, neighbours and stakeholders.
Some key documents will guide us through the planning and development process, including:
- The City’s Official Community Plan (once updated).
- Community Design Guidelines.
- Development Design Guidelines.
Community Design Guidelines
The purpose of this document will be to streamline how architects and developers we work with design and build community-enhancing elements within and around new developments. We’re doing this through a unique approach: we have defined a set of “Community Design Guidelines” that will be used to guide the various teams building projects.
The Community Design Guidelines are in development and will be available to architects and builders/developers prior to launching new projects. We look forward to discussing the guidelines with developers as we move forward and hearing your feedback and perspectives on how they can be improved and customized further for CEP and the broader South Vedder community. Our goal will be to find the common ground where developers can build great, successful projects while also building long-term socially sustainable communities.
Development Design Guidelines
We also have a separate set of traditional Design Guidelines to be used by architects and developers to guide design standards including environmental sustainability goals. The Design Guidelines are currently being developed and will be available in advance of any major procurements.
