Stony Plain Road and 156 Street Priority Growth Area Rezoning

Get involved!

The City is pursuing proactive rezonings in the Stony Plain Road & 156 Street Corridors to help leverage transit investment and encourage more housing development and business investment in these important areas.

Not all land within the area will be rezoned. As outlined on the map below, the City is recommending selecting key sites surrounding future LRT stations at 142, 149 and 156 Streets as well as sites south of 100 Avenue to align with the Valley Line West LRT route.



We are now collecting feedback to help inform which specific sites should be selected for rezoning and what standard zones within the new Zoning Bylaw should be applied to the chosen sites. This includes gathering input to help determine what zone modifiers should be used to guide the maximum heights and footprints of buildings to ensure they fit in with the surrounding neighbourhood and which buildings should have ground-floor, street-facing business space.

This includes which sites within the areas you think should be selected for rezoning, the height and footprint for buildings located on those sites and which buildings should be required to have ground-floor, street facing businesses.

    Not all land within the Stony Plain Road & 156 Street Corridors will be rezoned. The City has identified focus areas with lands it believes present the greatest redevelopment potential and would benefit most from proactive, City-initiated rezoning. Tell us what you think of these focus areas and which specific sites, within or outside of these focus areas, you think should be rezoned to most effectively encourage more housing development and business opportunities.

    For the sites within the Stony Plain Road & 156 Street Corridors that you think should be rezoned, tell us what you think the height range for buildings located on these sites should be based on the following parameters. Building heights for the rezoned sites will be required to align with City Plan and forthcoming District Plan policy direction, which supports high-rise (9-20 storeys) and potentially tall high-rise buildings (20+ storeys) along Stony Plain Road when within 200 metres of a mass transit station or significant intersection. Mid-rise buildings (5-8 storeys) are supported throughout the corridor. The 156 Street Secondary Corridor does not support high-rise buildings over 8 storeys.

    Of the sites within the Stony Plain Road & 156 Street Corridors that you think should be rezoned, tell us which sites you think should have buildings located closer to the street for a more active sidewalk or set further back to allow for more transition between the buildings and the public space.
