What is an Area Structure Plan (ASP)
An Area Structure Plan (ASP) is a statutory document which provides land use policies for a specific area within the municipality. It is adopted by bylaw.
An ASP is prepared in accordance with the Municipal Government Act (MGA), which states:
- There must be a public consultation process and
- Mandates specific information to be included in the plan
What is included in an ASP?
Area Structure Plans (but are not limited to):
- Lot design and configuration
- Population and/or developed densities
- Proposed open space(s) and dedicated lands
- Transportation networks
- Landscaping
- Water and wastewater servicing strategies
- Compatible land uses
- Development and architectural guidelines
- Utilities
- Environmental concerns/constraints
Area Structure Plans also address:
- The sequence of development proposed for the area
- The land uses proposed for the area
- The density of population proposed for the area
- The general location of major transportation routes and public utilities, and
- Any other matters considered necessary by Council
What is the purpose of an ASP?
An Area Structure Plan:
- Provides information to a potential developer regarding the amount and type of development that may be considered appropriate within the plan.
- Provides landowners within the plan area with information on the amount and type of development that may be permitted within a plan area.
- Provides guidance for Council when making decisions on development proposals for specific parcels of land
Who is involved in completing an ASP?
ASPs are directed by Steering Committees (that ensure public participation) and County (or contracted) Resource Personnel as follows:
Steering Committees (SC) have seven members including:
- One community representative
- Three public members at large
- The County Councillor representing the ASP Area
- Two additional appointed County Councillors
- A call for public members is advertised prior to the establishment of the Steering Committee
County Resource Personnel include:

Bergen and Bearberry Area Visioning Reports and Community Surveys:
The Visioning Session Report and Draft Planning Vision Statements below are a compilation of the thoughts and ideas recorded at the community visioning workshop held on May 7 at the Bergen Community Hall; and on May 10 at Bearberry Community Hall. All of the thoughts and ideas represent the input used to formulate the draft planning vision statement.
The Visioning Session Report and Draft Planning Vision Statement have been provided to illustrate the results of the community visioning workshop and provide additional background information for the community survey. The report was used to create the survey questions in an attempt to provide the public with an opportunity to address some of the key issues that emerged from the workshop in greater depth.
