The purpose of the Cannifton/Corbyville Planning Area Strategy is to manage anticipated growth north of Highway 401 and identify opportunities to repurpose underutilized lands. The study will fulfill the Housing Accelerator Fund requirement for a commercial land needs review. There will be a commercial land inventory and needs assessment, which will evaluate opportunities to convert surplus commercial lands to residential or mixed-use development where appropriate.

The commercial lands need review is a component of the overall Cannifton/Corbyville Planning Area Strategy. The strategy will provide Council with a coordinated plan to guide future land use, servicing investments, and balanced residential and employment growth in City’s northern
urban serviced area.

This project under 2024 Operating Budget (D6-5) will support Belleville’s Housing Accelerator Fund 2 – Initiative 6: Expand Residential Development Opportunities through Policy Updates, under Milestone 3: Conduct and implement recommendations of a Commercial Land Needs Review for the conversion of commercial lands to residential use.
