Partial opening of the Vallées urban expansion area - Bellevue electoral district - Chloé Bourgeois

CONSIDERING THAT the revised Land Use and Development Plan (Schéma d’aménagement et de développement révisé - SADR) establishes three development priorities within the urban perimeter and that the opening for development of the urban expansion area (priority 3) is subject to specific conditions;
