development and productive use of agricultural land; | FRAMEWORK FOR BOUNDARY EXPANSION (a) Rural lands surrounding the Town have an intrinsic value that reinforces Cochrane's character and heritage. Therefore, the preservation of these agricultural and rural lands is considered an important planning goal. The Town will promote more efficient and effective use of lands within its boundaries before expanding them. | 13.3a | |
development and productive use of agricultural land; | When appropriate, boundary expansion into the rural area is dependent on how the land fits into the following criteria: (i) ability to service, use of existing capacity, and infrastructure upgrades; (ii) topographic constraints; (iii) efficient transportation linkages (both vehicular and pedestrian); (iv) intrusion into existing uses; (v) ability to promote more compact Town growth as opposed to growth along linear corridors; (vi) agricultural capability; (vii) ease of land assembly. | 13.3b |
