I received the notification below from the Calgary John Howard Society and wanted to share the information with you, in case you are interested and able to attend.
NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE
Calgary John Howard Society – Bedford House Relocation
Development Permit Review
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
5 – 8 pm
The Comfort Inn – 4611 Macleod Trail SW
Dear Resident/Business Owner:
The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is planning to relocate one of its Community Residential Facilities (CRF’s) – otherwise known as a halfway house – as well as its offices and educational classrooms, to the address of 4444 Builders Road SE in the industrial area known as Manchester. The CJHS has purchased the property at this location and was successful in its land use re-designation proposal to the City of Calgary in July 2010. At that time, CJHS requested to change the land use designation for 4444 Builders Road SE from that of Industrial General Land Use District to Direct Control Industrial General Land Use which allows Special Care Facilities.
The next step in this process is the Development Permit application stage. Calgary John Howard Society has been working with its architect and planners on the Development Permit and anticipate a submission to the City of Calgary in the short future. Prior to a formal submission to the City, we invite you to preview our Development Permit application. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about the proposed building and site development and provide comment directly to the CJHS team. After the open house and once the application is submitted to the City for processing, the public will have the opportunity to provide formal comments to the City.
Please join us on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 (5:00pm and 8:00 pm) at the Comfort Inn at 4611 Macleod Trail SW.
The Calgary John Howard Society Team will be available to answer questions. Should you have any questions prior to the open house, please contact: Kathy Oberg at 403.692.4532 or koberg@bapg.ca.
