Edmonton Design Committee Pre-Consultation Meetings

Though not mandatory, the Edmonton Design Committee (EDC) strongly encourages a “pre-consultation” screening of proposed developments.  The intent of this step is to offer information and guidance regarding the formal presentation.  A formal letter from the EDC is not provided after a pre-consultation meeting, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to take notes at this meeting.  

Pre-Consultation Submission Requirements

The pre-consultation process allows the EDC to engage with the proponent at an early and conceptual stage of development.  A full information package is not required at this point in the process.
Information required for a pre-consultation submission for a development permit application, rezoning application, or public project:
  • Written description of the project
  • The municipal address of the property
  • Responses to Principles of Urban Design
  • Site plan
  • Landscape plan
  • Preliminary elevations, drawings, and renderings of the proposal

Additional Information

If required by the EDC or development planner, the proponent shall provide the following information:
  • Additional perspectives 
  • A detailed landscape plan complete with hard and soft landscaping details
  • Public art provision, including specifics
  • An exterior lighting plan illustrating how the building’s architectural and sculptural characteristics have been highlighted
  • Building sections
  • Existing and proposed site grading
  • Wind impact analysis
  • A detailed Comprehensive Sign Design Plan to comply with Section 59 of the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw 12800
  • General analysis of how the development has addressed Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and 
  • A Zoning Bylaw Compliance analysis
It is noted that there may be a development that requires a special submission, such as a rezoning application, digital sign application, or exterior alterations such as a façade improvement. Please contact Administration or the Planner in order to discuss these requirements.

Scheduling a Review

To schedule a pre-consultation review, please contact the EDC Administration.

If an applicant is unable to attend the scheduled hearing, it is imperative that Administration is notified at least two weeks in advance of the hearing date.  By cancelling, there is no assurance that the next EDC meeting date will be available.
