**Engagement has concluded. A What We Heard report is available which summarizes feedback received** 

Thank you for participating in engagement activities for this rezoning application. Please review the information on this page and provide feedback before the end of the day on January 15, 2023.

The role of the public is at the ADVISE level of the City’s Public Engagement Spectrum, which was determined using the Public Engagement Charter for rezonings. The charter provides City planners with guidance on selecting the appropriate type and level of engagement needed to inform rezoning proposal reviews.

The ADVISE level means that the City will use any feedback that you share to make sure the review of the application is as complete as possible and to inform conversations with the applicant about potential revisions to address concerns or opportunities raised. Feedback will also be summarized for City Council so that they are aware of the public’s perspective prior to making a decision.

Additional information on the proposed redevelopment can be found on the right hand side of this page.

APPLICATION DETAILS

Proposed Rezoning

The City has received an application to rezone the properties at 11414, 11416, 11426, 11428 and 11430 76 Avenue NW from the Small Scale Infill Development Zone (RF3) with the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay to a Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2). The Mature Neighbourhood Overlay will no longer apply.

The proposed DC2 provision would allow for the development of a mid-rise apartment with commercial uses at ground level and the following characteristics:

  • A maximum height of 20.0 meters (approximately 6 storeys);

  • Up to 113 residential dwellings;

  • A maximum floor area ratio of 3.6;

  • Commercial uses at ground level facing 114 Street and portions of 76 Avenue; and

  • On-site parking accessed from the rear lane.

This proposed Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) replaces the previous proposal to rezone the properties to Medium Rise Apartment Zone (RA8) to better conform with the commercial use requirements of the McKernan-Belgravia Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) and to address certain concerns on impacts to adjacent properties. This application also increases the site area to include 11430 76 Avenue NW.

The application includes a proposal to amend the McKernan-Belgravia Station Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) to align with the proposed rezoning. Currently the ARP identifies this site for Mixed Use Residential up to a maximum of 4 storeys.

NEXT STEPS

City Administration will prepare a report to City Council providing a recommendation on this rezoning application. The City’s recommendation will be determined by a thorough review of the proposal, which involves technical considerations, such as traffic and drainage impacts, and alignment to approved City land-related plans and policies (eg. The City Plan). The report will also include a summary of the feedback received through this engagement so that City Council can factor community feedback, along with the City’s recommendation, into their decision. The decision to approve or refuse this application will be made at a future Public Hearing where anyone interested can also request to speak directly to City Council and share their perspectives prior to a decision being made.

I am OK with this except when it comes to the development permit no variances should be allowed on the set back

I enthusiastically support this rezoning and development. I can't think of a single reason why 76th Ave from 116th street to 112th street should have any single family homes on it. The area is directly adjacent to the University, the river valley (our city's most beautiful asset) and an LRT station. Residents of this development would quite literally be looking over the LRT station. I have few concerns surrounding the impact on traffic this development has since it's next to an LRT station, has direct bus connections to district entertainment (Whyte), is on multiple biking routes, and is within walking distance of restaurants and other amenities. I'd look to similar completed developments such as Belgravia square and Grand Scala. Traffic volumes have steadily increased on 76th Ave from 2011 to 2019, however there seems to be no significant jump from before and after the completion of these projects. The businesses on this site would also contribute to the growing neighbourhood vibrancy, adding amenities making the area a model in neighbourhood revitalization and densifying required if we desire a sustainable city that's accessible for all.

As a homeowner in the surrounding area, I am highly disappointed by this proposed application. I am against this rezoning and development application. Traffic in the 114th St and 76th Ave intersection is already very busy with long wait times due to the LRT often crossing. The additional 113 residential dwellings and subsequent increased traffic would only worsen congestion at the intersection and increase traffic times on 76th Ave. In addition, the increased noise pollution from not only the initial construction, as well as once it's built, the commercial space and 6 storey building would negatively impact the neighbourhood.
