LDA23-0233 Windsor Park Rezoning

116 St is a great location for density and housing intended for students. It's right on the edge of the neighbourhood and immediately across from major engineering buildings and recreation facilities on campus. The neighbours won't be happy, but it's a location where hard decisions will need to be made in the coming years, especially with the U of A looking to grow its student population to 60,000 within the next decade. That increase can't be captured just by dorms. I'm supportive.

I strongly support this rezoning application. Its proximity to the campus as well as its location near transit points promotes sustainable living. Importantly, the added housing options have the potential to alleviate the housing shortage and, hopefully, reduce renting prices. This development aligns with the community's needs and fosters a positive, inclusive environment.

Very much in support!

More housing near our growing university is needed!

Very much in support of this. Building more housing close to the university as well as the LRT is positive. As the university continues to grow, there will be an increased need for housing nearby.

This proposal is reasonable for this site. I am supportive.

I understand the need for higher density housing. My main concern is that this building will be entirely 1 bedroom units with possibly the odd 2 bedroom. This arrangement is great for university students but not good to sustain a vibrant community. We have a school that needs families in the area. For families to stay and grow they need 3 bedroom units. Otherwise they move on to the outskirts of the city where they can afford to rent bigger or buy.
Please insist half the building has 3 bedroom units where families will live and grow. Thank you.

Please do not allow for rezoning. These properties are on 116 street which is a two lane street with a bike lane.
This street is busy and backed up during peak times. The community already has a new mid rise development with commercial sites on 87ave which is more than enough to meet the needs of the community.

I am in support of this application. This will create more housing availability in a busy area of the city where it is needed. It is located near rapid transit and within walking distance of the UofA, where the residents would likely be working or attending. Residents wouldn't be required to own a car, and therefore the development would not create significant parking/traffic issues.

The applicant (Green Space Alliance) also has a demonstrated commitment to high-quality infill projects around the city.
