    What is the timing of full build out of the neighbourhood?

    • It is estimated that the first new housing stock would be available on the market a year or two after the NSP is approved.
    • Full build out of the neighbourhood may take many years depending on housing demand, economic factors and servicing constraints.

    When will the area be serviced?

    • Once the NSP is approved the next steps will be for developer to submit rezoning and then subdivision applications.
    • As part of the subdivisions servicing agreements developer will be required to outline the construction of roads, water pipes, drainage connections and power to service the new development.
    • Applicants will then be able to apply for development permits, then building permits to begin construction.
    • This process will happen in stages moving from already serviced areas and expanding servicing logically from there-

      how quickly the area is serviced depends on the pace of development.

    When will other plans in the Horse Hill ASP area be completed?

    • There are 5 neighbourhoods in the approved Horse Hill ASP.
    • The proposed amendment to the Horse Hill ASP will result in six (6) neighbourhoods, with the division of neighbourhood 1 into 1A (east of Meridian Street NE) and 1B (west of Meridian Street NE). 
    • So far the City has only approved one NSP for the ASP area - Marquis Neighbourhood, approved on April 28, 2015.
    • NSPs are submitted by landowners and therefore the City does not control when plans are done.

    Why is there a road, wetland or stormwater management facility on my property?

    • Applicants must provide all the amenities and services for a complete community, this includes access into neighbourhoods, storm ponds to manage drainage and protecting existing wetlands and natural areas.
    • The location of land uses, roads and natural features are dependent on what is existing on the land, what makes sense from a practical and technical perspective to service the area and trying to balance landowner interests.

    How was this digital public engagement publicized?

    • Advanced notice of the application and information to notify the public of a Remote Public Engagement Opportunity was sent by direct mail to surrounding property owners in the form of a letter on April 1, 2021.
    • It was posted on the City's Public Engagement Calendar.
    • It was also posted on the Horse Hill Neighbourhood 1A webpage & Engage Edmonton webpage.
