This application includes proposed amendments to the Richford Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan to support the proposed rezoning.

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. Ellerslie Road at this location is identified as a Secondary Corridor. Secondary Corridors are intended to be vibrant residential and commercial streets that serve as a local destination for surrounding communities. A secondary corridor feels more residential in nature than a primary corridor. Some secondary corridors will include city-wide mass transit with the others near or served by district transit The typical massing/form is anticipated to be low-rise and mid-rise buildings.
