ADVISE
This means the City asks the public to share feedback and perspectives that are considered for policies, programs, projects, or services.
ROLE OF THE PUBLIC
Site and Application Intent
The site, which is located on the south side of 85 Avenue, directly across from Strathcona Park and King Edward Elementary School, currently contains the Edmonton Church of God, the 4-storey Eben-Ezer I residential building, and a single detached house.
The stated intent of the applicant is to develop a new, six storey residential building that will contain a mix of 3-bedroom townhouses and apartment suites with ground floor units having direct access to 85th Avenue.
Although the (RA8) Medium Rise Apartment Zone allows limited commercial uses, the applicant has stated that they intend to develop a residential-only building.
What will feedback be used for?
We appreciate your feedback and will use it 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; and
- summarize feedback for City Council so that they know your perspective prior to making a decision.
A summary of what we hear from this engagement will be posted on this webpage and provided to City Council when the application advances to Public Hearing for a decision. When the applicant is ready to take the application to Council, notices of the Public Hearing date will be sent to surrounding property owners. You can register to speak at the City Council Public Hearing or listen online. Click here for more information about how to speak to Council. You can also submit written comments to City Council through the Office of the City Clerk (city.clerk@edmonton.ca).
What information is considered when making a decision?
Zoning regulates what types of buildings are allowed on a site (eg. residential or commercial) and the basic size and shape of those buildings. It does not control who can live or work in the buildings or whether the property is rented or owned.
The City's Development Services Branch reviews the rezoning application based on:
- Approved policies, plans and guidelines;
- Planning analysis (how the proposed zone fits into the neighbourhood);
- Technical information (traffic impacts, water and sewer capacity, etc.); and
- Public input (feedback from the public will be summarized in the final report to Council).
