Challenges and opportunities

Challenges

  • Citizen pressure to retain green spaces for public use in any future development
  • Property is currently zoned as recreational
  • Until property is rezoned, capturing full potential value will be a very big challenge, but not impossible
  • Several of 14 golf courses in the area are requesting zoning changes as well

Opportunities

  • Community sees Tecumseh Golf Course as most desirable for zoning change
  • Community is supportive of re-zoning
  • Community is in need of a mix of residential uses
  • Large amounts of cash available for urban residential development projects
  • Municipality may be willing to exchange dedicated community green spaces for density
