LDA22-0453: Horse Hill Area Structure Plan and Marquis Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan Amendments

Proposed Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan

An accompanying application under LDA22-0453 has been made to amend the Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) to align with the proposed rezoning.

A summary of changes includes the following:

  • Updates to land use designations

  • Reducing the Town Centre Commercial area.
  • Increasing the mix of residential land uses including low density, medium density, and high density residential.
  • Reconfiguring a public park designation.


  • Updates to the transportation network

    • Relabelling the future proposed LRT line to a mass transit line to reflect The City Plan, which identifies that mass transit includes not just LRT as it has in the past but also bus-based mass transit. This allows for future flexibility to implement the mass transit type that will best serve an area’s needs as Edmonton grows and develops.
    • Realignment of the future proposed mass transit line.
    • Relocation of the Transit Centre along 195 Avenue arterial roadway.
    • Adjustments to the primary road network.


An amendment to the higher-level Horse Hill Area Structure Plan (ASP) is also proposed, to align with the NSP amendments.

A full set of proposed amendments to the Marquis Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan and Horse Hill Area Structure Plan are found in the Marquis Neighbourhood NSP Amendment Report and Horse Hill ASP Amendment Report respectively.
