Proposed Rezoning Details
The City has received an application to rezone the properties at 10126 to 10124 122 Street NW from
a (DC1) Direct Development Control Provision to a (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision.
The current (DC1) Direct Development Control Provision allows for low density residential development that is of a scale and design that is complementary to the existing older low density residential homes in the area. Conversions of older housing stock for commercial uses is also permitted.
The proposed (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision would allow for the development of a medium rise residential building with the following characteristics:
A maximum height of 21 metres (6 storeys);
A maximum density of 100 units;
A maximum Floor Area Ratio of 3.5;
Townhome units facing 122 Street NW with street level access; and
Parkade access from the north-south lane
Proposed Plan Amendment Details
The Oliver Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) is in effect for this area. To facilitate the proposed rezoning, the following amendments to the ARP are proposed:
The removal of the proposed rezoning site from Map 3 (Major Plan Initiatives) which encourages this site for the retention and conversion of older housing stock;
An amendment to Map 6 to reflect the proposed rezoning of the site from DC1 to DC2;
The removal of the site from Map 7 (Special Character Area); and
The addition of a new policy into Section 5.5.1 that would allow for a mid-rise building on the site.
Tell Us What You Think About The Application
Engagement has concluded
Great looking proposal
- Appreciate the 6 storey height, appropriate to the neighbourhood
- Like the alley only access - very much preferred to street driveways which obstruct sidewalks and are dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists (such as the ones in the 102 ave bike lane)
As a resident living near the proposed development I fully support more of this as a replacement for older SFH stock turnover.
I live half a block away from this site and I think this building would be perfect. The design looks good, increased density is a huge bonus and I would love to see this built ASAP. With a few more developments like this in west Oliver, this is quickly going to become one of the most urban areas of the city.
Height and density make sense for the neighbourhood & City Plan but parking is already an issue on the street, with the two nearby churches, the new Safeway, Paul Kane park, multiple apartment buildings on 122 Street, and Edmontonians who park here to visit the Promenade and the seasonal Farmer’s Market. The current street parking does not suffice for what is already existing and the development will intensify the demand. Other Wards should be responsible to uphold density targets as well. The proposed development will need to supply parking over and above minimum requirements for Open Option Parking.
