Greenfield Residential Land Survey

The City of Ottawa adopted a residential growth management strategy (RGMS) for the new Official Plan (OP) with a planning period from July 2018 to July 2046. The RGMS divides the urban area into two categories: a “built-up area” and “greenfield area”. This Greenfield Residential Land Survey (GRLS) report replaces the former Vacant Urban Residential Land Survey (VURLS) and monitors the residential land supply within the greenfield portion, as of July 1, 2018, of the urban area.
