Revised Pleasantview Rezoning Application: 11010 60 and 11015 60 Avenue NW

Consultation has concluded

Engagement has now concluded. A What We Heard report will summarize the key themes heard throughout engagement can be found here.


Thank you for participating in engagement activities. Please review the information on this page and provide feedback before the end of the day on Nov 9, 2022.


The City’s Land Development Section initially submitted a rezoning application to rezone the properties at 11010 60 Avenue NW and 11015 60 Avenue NW from Single Detached Residential Zone (RF1) to Low Density Infill Zone (RF2) in order to subdivide the two lots into eight lots. The rezoning application went before City Council during a Public Hearing Meeting on January 25th, 2022.

At that Public Hearing, we heard a desire to balance open space and a higher density development like row housing or semi-detached homes. Ultimately, City Council passed the following motion:

“That Charter Bylaw 19937 be referred back to Administration to consider potential zoning that would accommodate open space, a mix of park space and/or other development or use of the land as public park and return to a future City Council Public Hearing”.

Upon further review, we are revising our rezoning application to propose:

  • 11010 60 Avenue NW is rezoned from Single Detached Residential Zone (RF1) to Low Density Infill Zone (RF2) to create 5 single family infill lots. The single family lots would allow for livable secondary and garden suites on each property which would allow for up to 2 more units per lot, potentially resulting in 15 total dwelling units across the 5 lots.
  • 11015 60 Avenue NW is rezoned from Single Detached Residential Zone (RF1) to Small Scale Infill Development Zone (RF3) to enable row housing development. The property is also reconfigured to allow for additional open space and protection of utilities as road right-of-way dedication (grey on the rezoning map below).

After reviewing feedback from the January City Council Public Hearing, and considering the City Plan and the site context, the revised proposal for these properties balances an increase in density, while considering the adjacent land uses and maintaining the open space. The City Plan encourages a gradual increase in density while considering scale to existing uses. The approach for this area currently is to develop based on market demands and previously identified priorities to create conditions for success in the next population horizon.

The properties are located on the North West corner of the Pleasantview neighbourhood (as seen in the image above) and adjacent to a shared use path connecting the neighbourhoods (red dotted line) and a shared roadway for bicycles (light blue dotted line). This corner is at the intersection of two Secondary Corridors as identified in the City Plan and not located in a current Priority Growth Area. 11015 60 Avenue NW can be accessed via 60 avenue while 11010 60 Avenue NW can be accessed from both 60 Avenue and the back lane abutting the dog park. This rear vehicular access to 11010 60 Avenue NW enables rear facing garden suites, helping to increase the density on these lots.

The open space assessment found that the total area of open spaces in the neighbourhood exceeds the targets for the current and anticipated population of 2050, excluding the cemetery, and that there are limited opportunities to develop our properties into highly functional open spaces.
