LDA23-0010 McKernan DC2 Rezoning

Engagement has concluded

• APPLICATION DETAILS

  CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

  The City is reviewing an application to rezone 11343 - 76 Avenue NW from the existing (RF3) Small Scale Infill Zone to a (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision to allow for the development of a mid-rise residential building.

  Key characteristics include:

  • A maximum height of 23 meters (or approximately 6 storeys);

  • A maximum density of 71 units;

  • A maximum Floor Area Ratio of 3.7; and

  • Ground floor commercial space in the northwest corner of the building.

  To accommodate the rezoning, an amendment to the Belgravia / McKernan Station Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) is also proposed as the ARP limits development at this location to no more than 4 storeys.

  The City Plan, Edmonton’s combined Municipal Development Plan and Transportation Master Plan, was approved in December 2020. The City Plan sets City Council’s direction, and charts out how we will accommodate 1 million additional residents in Edmonton. Recognizing the essential connection between land use and transportation, The City Plan identifies key areas within the city in a Nodes and Corridors system where population, business and employment growth are to be focused. The subject site is identified as being within the intersection of the 114 Street and 76 Avenue Secondary Corridors. Secondary corridors are a vibrant residential and commercial street that serves as a local destination for surrounding communities. The typical massing/form is anticipated to be low-rise and mid-rise (or approximately 4 to 8 storeys).

• HOW IS FEEDBACK USED?

  CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

  

  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 (DC1 or DC2), 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 the City completes its review and 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 lands being rezoned, as well as affected community leagues and business associations advising them of the Public Hearing date.

  Register to Speak to Council or Submit Comments

  Public Hearings are an important part of the engagement process for rezonings. Members of the public can share their views on the proposed rezoning directly with Council by registering to speak at the City Council Public Hearing once the hearing agenda is posted.

  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.
