Thank you for participating in engagement activities for this rezoning application.

This page is to help you find out more information about the proposed rezoning and tell us what you think. Please review the information on this page and share your thoughts on the proposed rezoning before the end of the day on February 27, 2022.

We will use any feedback that you share to ensure our review of the application considers local context, and will be summarized in our report to City Council so they are aware of public opinion before making a decision at Public Hearing.

Application Details

The City has received an application to rezone a property at 11515 - 139 Street NW, in the west area of the Woodcroft neighbourhood.

The proposed rezoning from (RF1) Single Detached Residential Zone to the (RF5) Row Housing Zone would allow for a five-unit row housing development with the opportunity for secondary suites to be added to each unit. Unlike other low-density residential zones (RF1, RF2, RF3 & RF4), the RF5 Zone requires that the average number of bedrooms per principal dwelling be at least 2.25 in an effort to encourage development that is oriented towards families. Vehicular access will be required to be provided from the rear lane.

The Mature Neighbourhood Overlay (MNO) also currently applies to this property, which imposes further development restrictions such as limiting building height to 8.9 metres (approximately 2 ½ Storeys) and ensuring that the front setback of a building is generally consistent with adjacent properties. The MNO will continue to apply to the proposed RF5 Zone, though the height is permitted up to 10 metres (approximately 3 storeys).

The existing RF1 zoning allows for small-scale, low density residential housing, such as single and semi-detached homes and duplexes, with the option to add secondary suites and garden suites. This property is currently occupied by a single detached house.

There is no local plan in effect for the Woodcroft neighbourhood.

As the proposed zoning is considered a ‘standard zone’, the applicant is not required to provide detailed building drawings at this stage in the planning process. If the rezoning is approved by City Council at a public hearing, the next step will be for the applicant to submit a Development Permit application. At this time, the applicant will be required to submit detailed building drawings to the City for review.
