Site Design and Zoning Changes
Building Layout
Updates to the shape of one building and the heights of two buildings as shown below.
Zoning Specifications
Current Zoning
Proposed Zoning
Maximum Height by Building Type
- Type A (7.0 m)
- Type B (15.0 m)
- Type C1 (22.0 m)
- Type D (43.0m)
Notes:
- No infringement of the angular planes that restrict height as referenced from the west lot line of the properties to the east of the site
- Minimum Separation distances between buildings remain at 14.0 metres
- Publicly Accessible Private Park remains at a minimum of 1000 square metres
Western Setbacks
The minimum setback from the west lot line for north of 93 Avenue NW is updated to 0.0-2.0 metres based on the current location of the west lot line adjacent to Area 2-A. There is no change to where the buildings are proposed, but the current minimum setback number anticipates a future scenario where the developer will regain some land after LRT construction, which is delayed.
This adjustment will allow redevelopment of the site to occur prior to this additional land being obtained from the City if appropriate agreements between the city and the developer are executed to allow the construction of the buildings as per the visual provided below. This also leads to adjustments in timing for construction of the walkway and emergency access route along the west side of the site.
Vehicular Parking Requirements
Removal minimum vehicular parking requirements in line with the recently approved Open Option Parking regulations in the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw.
Other Changes
Administrative and minor amendments to align with current DC2 formatting and the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw with little to no tangible land use impacts.
The City is looking for your feedback on this proposal.
