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.

Digital Engagement

Digital engagement will be open from July 22 until September 2, 2024.

  • Interactive Map - Use the color-coded pins to tell us what properties you think should be selected for rezoning, which properties should be required to have ground-floor, street-facing businesses in the buildings, and which sites along arterial roads and within 200 metres of a mass transit station or significant intersections are best suited for taller buildings. The 156 Street Secondary Corridor does not support high-rise buildings over 8 storeys.
  • Share Your Thoughts - Use the discussion threads to provide your thoughts on the proposed rezoning focus areas. 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.
  • Ask a Question- Use the Q&A tool to ask the project team a question. Questions will be captured as part of engagement feedback.
  • Schedule a Chat with a Planner via Google Meet about your feedback or questions related to the project. Phone or in-person meeting option available upon request.

  • Hello there. If I happen to live in one of the houses within the 200m buffer zone, will my property be getting expropriated?

    Paula K asked about 1 month ago

    This project is limited to rezoning, no expropriation is planned as part of this work.

  • With all the LRT across all sectors of the city why are 9 zones being rezoned between 14 blocks of the line. It appears to me no one feels safe walking or catching a bus around this stretch of road which accounts for poor ETS fares. My question is do we have the infrastructure or is this developers wanting to have low income renters that the government ultimately subsidizes.or is this a beautification project or are we moving a persistent problem again. The parking lot at Jasper gates suggests these businesses are already struggling. Other Cities are moving away from overcrowding neighborhoods without updating infrastructure.

    The City, rather than a developer, is pursuing proactive rezoning in five Priority Growth Areas, which are those Nodes and Corridors in The City Plan which are anticipated to see the most growth in the near term. These five Priority Growth Areas were selected using a robust technical review and are intended to help encourage more housing opportunities and business investment in these important areas. 

    Not all land within the selected Priority Growth Areas will be rezoned. The intent is to focus on sites that have the greatest redevelopment potential, such as those within close proximity to mass transit in part to help boost ridership.

    As part of this process, infrastructure studies will be completed to support rezoning. If there is not adequate capacity, the upgrades that are required that trigger upgrades will be identified. These upgrades would typically be paid for by a future developer. Other mechanisms through future capital budgets, in collaboration with EPCOR, or through shared-funding sources such as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's Housing Accelerator Fund will also continue to be explored to support redevelopment.
