Proposed St. Albert West Area Structure Plan

The proposed St. Albert West ASP document was developed to align with the policy directions in both the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan (EMRGP) and the City’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP).

• Agricultural Impact Assessment
• Historical Resources Act Approval with Conditions
• Natural Features Assessment and Prioritization Report
• Servicing Design Brief
• St. Albert West ASP Technical Report
• Transportation Impact Assessment

The proposed St. Albert West ASP and supporting technical studies can be found on the right side of this webpage under Key Documents.
