Scott Road Development Incentives Study

Scott Road Development Incentives Study

The Scott Road Corridor has been identified as a priority for the North Delta Area Plan review. Since there has been very little new development on Scott Road following the adoption of the existing North Delta Area Plan in 1995, a detailed economic study of Scott Road was being undertaken to help identify why development has not occurred, the types of development that would be appropriate, and incentives that could be used to encourage and attract new development.

At the September 19, 2011 Regular Meeting, Council received the Scott Road Development Incentives Study prepared by G.P. Rollo & Associates Ltd., Land Economists dated July 2011 for information and referred the study to the North Delta Area Plan review process. Please select the following to view the Report to Council and the Scott Road Development Incentives Study.

Some of the main findings of the Scott Road Development Incentives Study include the following:

• In general, the Scott Road Corridor does not require substantial incentives for investment;
• There are numerous projects underway in the Scott Road Corridor and as the area matures there is potential for significantly more to come;
• Through the considerations of the recommendations in the study, Delta can be seen as more developer friendly and thus encouraging new development; and
• As the market matures there will be increasing opportunities for higher density apartment projects and additional commercial development.
