Public Engagement Session October 17

Citizens were invited to a drop-in engagement session on Wednesday October 17, at La Cité Francophone, to learn about revisions to the proposed rezoning of the Bonnie Doon Mall shopping centre located at the northwest corner of 82 Avenue and 83 Street.

Approximately 225 people attended the session, which was an opportunity to learn more about what’s changed since the initial proposal in May 2018 and to provide feedback to the City and applicant.

Feedback received will be used to inform discussions with the applicant about potential revisions to the proposed rezoning. Feedback will be summarized in a report to City Council when the proposed rezoning goes to Public Hearing for a decision.

About the Proposal

The proposed rezoning from a Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) and Low Rise Apartment Zone (RA7) to a new Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) would facilitate a major redevelopment of the site into a mixed-use, transit-oriented development consisting of:

  • A mix of row housing, mid-rise, and high-rise development with up to 4,000 units (revised from 6,000 in May 2018)
  • Retail, office, and other commercial space up to 140,000 sq.m (revised from 93,000 sq.m in May 2018)
  • Publicly-accessible parks and open space
  • Underground parking
  • New streets throughout the site, including bicycle lanes and pedestrian priority
  • A variety of uses and services which take advantage of proximity to the Bonnie Doon LRT stop on the Valley Line Southeast 

While there is no statutory plan in effect for the Bonnie Doon neighbourhood, the proposed zoning will be reviewed against City guidelines and policies related to:

Existing Zoning

The adjacent property at 8420 85 Street NW is currently zoned Low Rise Apartment Zone (RA7), and is used for a recycling depot.

There is no statutory plan in effect for the Bonnie Doon neighbourhood.
