Engagement has concluded
APPLICATION DETAILS
The City is reviewing an application to rezone 13611 & 13607 - Stony Plain Road NW, and 10240 - 136 Street NW from the Single Detached Residential Zone (RF1) with the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay to the Medium Rise Apartment Zone (RA8). Under the RA8 Zone, 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.
As the proposed zoning is considered a ‘standard zone’ (i.e. not site specific), the applicant is not required to provide detailed building drawings at this stage in the planning process. However, a shadow study has been included to illustrate the shadow impacts from the proposed height.
If the rezoning is approved by City Council, the next step will be for the applicant to submit a Development Permit application. At that time, the applicant will be required to submit detailed building drawings to the City for review.
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 is also identified as a City-Wide Route on the Mass Transit Network which supports the future Valley Line West LRT which will include the Glenora Stop approximately 300 metres from this site (considered a convenient walking distance).
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 use-related plans and policies (e.g., The City Plan). The report will also include a summary of the feedback received through this engagement so City Council can factor community feedback, along with the Administration’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.
