  • APPLICATION DETAILS

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    The City has received a rezoning application from Clarity Development Advisory. The current zoning is a Direct Development Control Provision (DC1.15753), Small Scale Flex Residential Zone (RSF), Small-Medium Scale Transition Residential Zone (RSM h12.0), and Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h16.0). The proposed zoning is two Direct Control (DC) Zones and the General Commercial Zone (CG).

    • One proposed DC Zone would allow for a variety of commercial, office, and service uses on the sites along Winterburn Road. Landscaping and screening are required between the commercial areas and adjacent low density residential areas.

    • The second proposed DC Zone would allow for two residential buildings up to 23 m in height (approximately 6 storeys), opportunities for commercial on the ground floor (such as daycares and restaurants), and a minimum 4.5 metre setback and required landscaping along the interface with low density residential.

    • The proposed General Commercial Zone (CG) would allow for a variety of commercial businesses that range from low impact commercial and office activities with limited opportunities for Residential Uses, to higher impact activities including larger shopping centres.

    Associated proposed amendments to the Grange Area Structure Plan and Granville Neighbourhood Structure Plan would redesignate the properties to Commercial Direct Development Control and High Density Residential (Medium Rise Apartments) accordingly.

  • HOW IS FEEDBACK USED?

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    A representation of the public engagement spectrum which shows the four roles of the public possible in City of Edmonton public engagement activities. A solid bar with four colour sections each one representing a different role of the public. From left to right on the bar: light blue is advise, teal is refine, purple is create and red is decide. The public is being asked to advise so the light blue portion of the bar which represents advise has the word advise bolded on it.

    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

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    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.
