The Secondary Plan will be developed through a consultative process that encourages public engagement and involvement of all stakeholders. The following key considerations will be of help to inform the future Secondary Plan:

A Community Energy and Sustainable Development Plan will be prepared to identify opportunities to integrate measures to conserve energy and water use and reduce carbon emissions in an effort to be a more resilient community.

The Shining Hill Secondary Plan will provide the full range and mix of housing opportunities, a variety of mobility options, community facilities, parks and open spaces, and shops and services to meet daily needs through an efficient land use pattern that promotes walking and active mobility and reduces the demand for cars, land and infrastructure.

Shining Hill will be designed to promote a high level of active mobility through complete streets and an extensive trail network that are designed to encourage walking and active transportation modes.

Community amenities will be planned for and located in proximity to most residents throughout the Shining Hill Secondary Plan community as focal points for gathering, placemaking and identity.

An appropriately-scaled, vibrant community core will provide a focal point for the Shining Hill community and will provide opportunities for retail and services within a reasonable walking distance of the majority of residents.
