LDA22-0588 Glenora 136 Street RA8

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.

Use the tool below to submit a question to the file planner or see what others have been asking. Answer are posted within 5 business days. When needed, we will also work with the applicant to provide an answer. 

You will need to provide a screen name and email as all questions go through an automated moderation process. Your screen name will be displayed but all other information is kept confidential. 

Using this tool, ask a question directly to the City file planner who is processing the application.

  • Based on the lot size of the 3 properties, there is a total of 1,928 m2. Assuming parking spaces of 5.5m x 1.5m, for 45 parking spots, no underground parking, this represents 644 m2, or 33.4% of the total land use. This also assumes bumper to bumper parking, no roads, set-backs, building size adjustments, and green space. How, honestly, is 45 parking spots going to possibly fit into this property, without requiring underground parking, dual lane driving access, for parking, etc? It’s not making sense.

    Remal asked about 1 year ago

    Thank you for the additional feedback. The applicant’s intent is to have 42 parking spaces in an underground parkade and 3 surface lots in the rear.

  • What parking will be available for the building?

    Riley asked about 1 year ago

    If this proposed rezoning is approved, the amount of on-site parking will be determined at the development permit stage. Edmonton allows for Open Option Parking which means that developers, homeowners and businesses decide how much on-site parking to provide on their properties based on their particular operations, activities or lifestyle. That being said, the applicant for this proposal has indicated that they are currently planning for approximately 45 parking stalls.

  • Where and how will parking be handled? A building of that size does not have adequate parking around it.

    Parking access is from the rear lane of the building. If this proposed rezoning is approved, the amount of on-site parking will be determined at the development permit stage.
