**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.

Ask a question directly to the City file planner who is processing the application.

  • How many parking spaces will be in the LDA21-0275 Belgravia Heights DC2 Development? I could not find the answer in the Document Library.

    tara d asked over 1 year ago

    According to the applicant, the current intent of the development includes approximately 98 parking spaces between two levels of underground parking. 

    However, in July 2020 City Council approved the move to Open Option Parking, which means that developers now get to choose how much on-site parking to provide with new developments based on what they think their customer’s particular operations, activities or lifestyle will warrant. The finalized details of this are determined at the development permit phase.
