Engagement has concluded

*This engagement opportunity is now closed. A What We Heard report is now available. 

Thank you for participating in engagement activities for this rezoning application. Please watch the below video, review the information on this page and provide feedback before the end of the day on July 10, 2022.

The role of the public is at the ADVISE level of the City’s Public Engagement Spectrum which 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 takes neighbourhood context into consideration. It will also be summarized for City Council so that they know your perspective prior to making a decision at a future Public Hearing.

Since the proposed rezoning is to a standard zone (RA8) that applies to multiple sites and areas across the city, feedback cannot be used to make adjustments to the regulations in the proposed RA8 Zone for this specific site. However, the applicant will be encouraged to consider this feedback in their more detailed building design and plans if the rezoning is approved.

APPLICATION DETAILS


The City is reviewing an application to rezone 13802 - 102 Avenue NW and 13806 - 102 Avenue NW from the Single Detached Residential Zone (RF1) with the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay to the Medium Rise Apartment Zone (RA8), and the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay would no longer apply.

The proposed RA8 Zone would allow for a 23-metre high building (approximately 6 storeys) intended for residential uses such as multi-unit housing, lodging houses and supportive housing as well as limited commercial opportunities at ground level, such as child care services, general retail stores and specialty food services.

THE CITY PLAN

Within The City Plan the rezoning site is part of the Stony Plain Road Primary Corridor, where the typical shape and size of development is anticipated to be mostly mid-rise with some high-rise. Stony Plain Road at this location is also identified as a Citywide Route on the Mass Transit Network with the future Valley Line LRT following the corridor and the future Grovenor/142 Street Stop is approximately 230 metres from this site.

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.

You can:

  • Ask a question directly to the file planner that is processing the application. When necessary, we will work with the application to provide an answer.

  • Search and view community-submitted questions and official responses.

  • Type your question in the box below and click "Submit". Answers are typically provided within 5 business days.

Please note you must be registered on Engaged Edmonton in order to provide feedback. However, only your username will be displayed publicly, all other information is kept confidential. We use this information to distinguish between feedback received from neighbouring/local area residents and other interested stakeholders.  

You may also provide feedback to the Project Planner directly via the contact information under the "who's listening" section of the page. Please refrain from submitting a question on the site, and providing a duplicate question to the planner. It is not necessary to do both in order for the question to be received.

  • What structural improvements are proposed to protect people on foot or on bicycle that will now be on an "island" between busy roads? Are there plans to create safer crossings or bridges for them to access neighbouring areas and existing active transport routes?

    Thank you for the question. Through construction associated with the Valley Line West LRT, this area will have new, wider sidewalks and shared-use path links. Pedestrian crossings along Stony Plain Road NW will be signalized. A new signalized crosswalk across 102 Avenue NW at the Stony Plain Road NW intersection will also be provided. Please refer to the Valley Line West LRT Booklet for some visuals of these elements (pages 32 and 33).
