Study Area and Community Improvement Project Area
For the purposes of reviewing the demographics and current conditions along the two corridors, a larger study area was used in the Background Report contained in Appendix A. This allowed a more detailed review of the population living in the surrounding neighborhoods and of the land uses along the corridors. For the purposes of the CIP, the focus has been honed in on the proper - ties that have frontage along the two corridors as shown to the right. The properties shown within the red line are the properties that are reviewed for consideration as part of the Community Im - provement Plan for the purposes of developing financial incentive programs and making land use recommendations.
The Planning Act requires that a municipality define a Community Improvement Project Area (Project Area) by By-law to offer financial incentives and other CIP initiatives.
