I think the south side of the river there is a park. Fish Creek definitely ends at the Blue Devil golf course.

JaymanBUILT has proposed a new suburb south of Seton and Rangeview on the Ricardo Ranch lands which I find EXTREMELY interesting.

The outline plan is going to the CPC on Thursday. Here are the Unit Breakdowns and Zoning Outline Plan:

Low Density Detached (R-G)886
Semi-Detached & Towns (RG, R-Gm)1489
Multi-Residential (M-G, M1, M2, MH2, MH3)2106
Mixed-Use (MU-1)1079

The zoning is already quite good, with most of the detached having laneway garages (No front driveways) and a good chunk of mixed-use in the centre, all on a grid street layout.

Now here's where it gets interesting...

Jayman is going full European-style New Urbanist with this. I found a video information session from a few months back with some very interesting slides and renderings.

The entire community will be designed in a European Chateauesque style with a 60m central clocktower in the neighbourhood centre.

Whatever you think of the faux historical look, you have to admit, this is certainly raising the bar for new suburbs going forward.

It's kind of disappointing that there's no plans to keep the historic ranch house close to the river.

I think it's this one:

Interesting:

Ricardo was well-known in the Okanagan area for helping to establish the fruiting industry and spearheading the development of the Grey Canal, the biggest irrigation system in Canada outside of the CPR’s projects.

Here's the approved ASP
