University - Garneau Priority Growth Area Rezoning

Consultation has concluded

Get involved!

The City is pursuing proactive rezonings in the University-Garneau Major Node to help leverage transit investment and encourage more housing development and business investment in this important area.

Not all land within the area will be rezoned. As outlined on the map below, the City is recommending selecting key sites near 109 Street, 87 Avenue, and south of 82 Avenue, where policy in The City Plan and the forthcoming District Plans supports additional housing.

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.

    The initial focus areas were created as a starting point for further examination and dialogue with stakeholders. Parcels that include parks, heritage buildings, schools, or have other limitations will not be considered for future rezoning.
