APPLICATION DETAILS

A Land Development Application has been submitted to the City of Edmonton. The application was made by Stantec Consulting Ltd. on behalf of Cameron Corporation. The proposed Land Development Application has two components.

Grandisle Neighbourhood Removal
The first component is an amendment to the Riverview Area Structure Plan (ASP). The amendment proposes to remove the proposed Grandisle (Neighbourhood 4) neighbourhood from the Riverview ASP and consolidate it into the adjacent River’s Edge (Neighbourhood 3) Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) and future White Birch NSP areas. The changes would consolidate 1.05 square kms (105 hectares) of land into the River's Edge NSP and 0.88 square kms (88 hectares) of land into the future White Birch NSP area.

While the vision for the area would remain relatively unchanged as a result of the proposed amendments, if approved the proposed location of the stormwater management facility in the northeast would shift southward and the configuration of the urban village park would also be adjusted. Updates are proposed to the land use and population statistics as well as the neighbourhood development concept figures and text in the Riverview ASP to reflect the above changes.

River's Edge Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) Amendment

The second component of the application is an amendment to the Riverview Neighbourhood 3 (River's Edge) Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) to consolidate the approximately 1.05 square kms (105 hectares) of land from the Grandisle NSP area into the River’s Edge NSP.

The following additions are proposed to be incorporated into the Riverview Neighbourhood 3 (River’s Edge) NSP as a result of this consolidation:

• 0.44 square kms (44.30 hectares) of low-density residential development;

• 0.16 square kms (1.61 hectares) of medium density residential development;

• 0.16 square kms (1.61 hectares) of high-density residential development, which is proposed as a new land use designation within the River’s Edge NSP;

• 0.24 square kms (24.40 hectares) of existing country residential development;

• One pocket park;

• One urban village park;

• Two stormwater management facilities totalling 0.06 square kms (6.0 hectares); and

• 0.0078 square kms (0.78 hectares) of natural area and 0.0052 square kms (0.52 hectares) of potential wetland, which are proposed as new land use designations within the River’s Edge NSP.

Updates are also proposed to the land use and population statistics, mapping and text in the River’s Edge NSP to reflect the above changes.

The City has not yet taken a position of support or non-support on this application. The City’s position will be determined by a thorough analysis of the proposal that includes technical considerations (e.g. traffic, drainage, and ecological impacts) and alignment to applicable City land use-related plans and policies (eg. The City Plan).

As part of the application, the applicant was required to submit a number of technical assessments. The Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) is available in the right hand side bar. The other assessments are still under review by the City and some of them, such as the Neighbourhood Design Report and Parkland Impact Assessment (PIA), will be made publicly available once they have been formally accepted.
