APPLICATION DETAILS
The City has received a rezoning application from Stantec Consulting Ltd. The current zone is the Rural Residential Zone (RR) and the proposed zone is a Direct Control Zone (DC). The proposed zone would allow for commercial uses adjacent to the North Saskatchewan River valley, a maximum building height of 16.0 m, and 6.0 m development setbacks from adjacent property lines.
The intended development is a thermal spa that is integrated with existing trees on the site. Regulations in the proposed DC Zone limit this integrated development to the uplands of the parcel. Structures and pools associated with the thermal spa will not be allowed below the top of bank, which is an area that makes up approximately 30% of the site, facing west towards the river valley.

HOW IS FEEDBACK USED?
The role of the public when participating in engagement activities for proposed rezonings is at the ADVISE level of the City’s Public Engagement Spectrum. This means that the City will use any feedback that you share to:
- Inform the City’s planning analysis and ensure all factors are taken into consideration
- Help inform conversations with the applicant about making revisions to address concerns
- Summarize feedback for City Council so they are aware of the public’s perspectives prior to making a decision at Public Hearing
A What We Heard report that summarises the feedback received is posted online and provided to the Ward Councillor as well as anyone who registers and provides feedback through this page or by contacting the file planner directly.
City planners use the Public Engagement Charter for rezonings as a guide when determining what type of engagement activities are most appropriate to help inform rezoning proposal reviews.
Please Note: Because standard zones apply to multiple sites across the city, the City cannot adjust or customize the individual regulations within these zones for a specific site. When rezoning to a Direct Control zone (DC), there is opportunity for public engagement to inform adjustments to the proposed regulations because these zones apply to a specific site or area only.

NEXT STEPS
Public Hearing
Once Administration completes its review and has determined its recommendation and the applicant is ready to take the application to City Council for a decision, the City sets a Public Hearing date. Notices are sent to all property owners within a minimum of 60 metres of the site in accordance with the Zoning Bylaw. In addition, notices of Public Hearing are sent to affected community leagues and business associations advising them of the Public Hearing date and how to participate.
Register to Speak to Council or Submit Comments
Public Hearings are an important part of the engagement process for rezonings. Once the hearing agenda is posted, members of the public can register to speak at the City Council Public Hearing to share their views on the proposed rezoning directly with Council.
Written comments can also be submitted to City Council through the Office of the City Clerk. Edmontonians can also watch the Public Hearing online.
If the Application is Approved
If the rezoning is approved by Council, the next step is for the developer to apply for development and building permits to start construction. Timelines for submitting these applications and starting construction are typically at the developer’s discretion.
