Ruisseau Outline Plan Amendment (OP-2023-01)
The City of Beaumont received an application to amend the Ruisseau outline plan.
The application proposes to amend the Ruisseau outline plan by reconfiguring the size of the central storm water management facility (storm pond), the local road network, the south municipal reserve parcel boundary and adding a portion of low-density residential in the southeast.
Find the existing development concept from 2013 here, and the proposed 2023 development concept here.
Application Overview
The applicant’s proposed plan amendment will decrease the total area of the storm pond. The applicant is proposing an updated local roadway network to accommodate the pond's configuration.
The change in the local roadway network results in a re-shaping of the municipal reserve parcel (the École Quatre-Saisons School site) and the addition of low-density residential that is projected to house 65 future residents or 18 dwelling units.
The total size of the École Quatre-Saisons School site has not been reduced by the re-configuration of the road network. Additional changes to the neighbourhood concept plan include an open space area within storm pond parcel and the adding multi-use trails throughout the neighbourhood plan.

- Why is the land developer removing a portion of green space (public utility lot) in the northwest section of the storm pond?
-
The proposed application is not removing or making changes to a portion of the public utility lot in the northwest section of the stormwater management facility. The amendment to the northwest section of the stormwater management section is to update the development concept map to reflect what has been developed to date.
- Will there be increased residential density?
-
The proposed plan amendment will result in an increase of the area of low-density residential by 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres). This change results in approximately 18 additional dwelling units (houses), housing around 65 people.
- Is this proposed plan amendment decreasing future municipal reserve land dedicated for recreational use?
-
No, the proposed plan amendment does not change the land dedicated to the City as municipal reserve (recreational/school land). The applicant is proposing to reconfigure the local road network, and the municipal reserve land does not decrease the total amount of municipal reserve dedicated to the City.
- What has the City of Beaumont heard from residents?
-
The City will be creating a summary of what was heard from residents about the proposed plan amendment. This summary will be formalized and will be included in a report to City Council about the proposed plan amendment.
- Why didn’t I receive a mailed notification about the proposed amendment?
-
The City of Beaumont creates the property notification list based on where the plan amendment boundary is located. Once the boundary is marked on a map, a 100-metre radius is applied to identify all the properties located within 100 metres from the amendment boundary. If your property is outside this radius, you would not have received a mailed notification.
- What is an outline plan?
-
An outline plan is a non-statutory plan that provides land use and servicing frameworks to guide future subdivision and development within a neighbourhood that are consistent with the City’s municipal development plans, as well as other relevant municipal policies and plans at the time of adoption.
- Where can I find the existing Ruisseau outline plan?
-
The Ruisseau outline plan, and other existing statutory/non-statutory land use plans, can be found here, on the City's website.
- How does the outline plan amendment process work?

Step 1: Application Submission
The Planning and Development department accepts planning application submissions from applicants to amend statutory or non-statutory plans in Beaumont. The applicant will submit their proposed plans and rationale to the City, along with any required supporting studies or reports.
Step 2: Application Referral
The City will send notification of the planning application to adjacent property owners, as well as internal departments and external agencies, such as utilities companies and provincial ministries. Feedback received will form part of the land use analysis and evaluation to improve the application, which may include an update to the application.
Step 3: Application Considerations
The assigned city planner considers all feedback received when making a recommendation to City Council on the plan amendment. In some situations, if there are significant changes to the application, the application may be referred to adjacent property owners and other departments and agencies again for more feedback.
Step 4: Public Hearing
The public will have an opportunity to attend a non-statutory public hearing and speak directly to City Council regarding this proposed plan amendment. The notice of this non-statutory public hearing will be mailed to adjacent property owners, published in the La Nouvelle Beaumont News newspaper, and posted on the City of Beaumont website.
More information on how to submit a written or verbal statement will be supplied on the notice.
After the non-statutory public hearing, City Council will consider the plan amendment application.
