Marquis Planning Applications

A  planning application (map) has been received for a portion of a property at 17861 Meridian Street NE.

The application proposes to rezone the area from Residential Mixed Dwelling Zone (RMD) and Public Parks Zone (AP) to Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2).

The purpose of the proposed Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) is to allow for shallow width multi-unit housing (row housing) with additional density (minimum site area of 91.25 square meters) and height (13.0 m) compared to the comparable (RF5) Row Housing Zone.

A planning application (map) has been received for portions of a property at 17861 Meridian Street NE. 

The application proposes to rezone portions of the property which have the following zones:

Agricultural Zone (AG), Public Parks Zone (AP), Public Utility Zone (PU), Residential Small Lot Zone (RSL), Residential Mixed Dwelling Zone (RMD), Semi-detached Residential Zone (RF4) and Row Housing Zone (RF5). 

The application would rezone those parts of the property to the following zones to allow for:

• Residential Low-Density Zone (RLD) as the predominant form of low-density residential uses
• Extending the existing row housing area in the Row Housing Zone (RF5)
• A pocket park site in the Public Park (AP) zone south of the future collector roadway
• A second park (AP) zone in the central portion of the subject site 
• A Low-Rise Apartment Zone (RA7) site for multi-unit housing up to 4 storeys, in lieu of a stormwater management facility (SWMF) north of the collector roadway
• A Public Utility Zone (PU) for an SWMF to the west of the existing pocket park site
• A Shopping Centre Zone (CSC) for a shopping complex to the east of Meridian Street NW
• And other small land uses adjustments

The proposed rezoning reflects a separate associated (proposed) amendment to the Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan that is scheduled for City Council Public Hearing on March 16, 2021 under proposed Bylaw 19606 (LDA20-0056).

A planning application (map) has been received for a portion of a property at 17404 Meridian Street NW.

The application proposes to rezone the property from Residential Mixed Dwelling Zone (RMD) to Residential Low-Density Zone (RLD).

The proposed rezoning to Residential Low-Density Zone (RLD) would allow for the development of single detached housing, semi-detached housing and duplex housing with flexible lot sizes and widths, including the opportunity for zero lot line development. The proposed rezoning complies with the Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan, which designates the land for low-density residential uses.

A planning application (map) has been received for portions of a property at 19610 Meridian Street NW.
The application consists of three components. The first is an amendment to the Horse Hill Area Structure Plan (ASP) and the second component, an amendment to the Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) to redistribute the stormwater management facilities (SWMFs) in the Marquis Town Centre and Business Employment area. 

The third component is a proposed rezoning (map) from General Business Zone (CB2) and Public Utility Zone (PU) to Public Utility Zone (PU) and General Business Zone (CB2) to accommodate the redistributed/reconfigured SWMFs. Currently, there are three (3) SWMFs in this portion of Marquis. The application seeks to redistribute the SWMFs into six (6) smaller ones.

The ASP and NSP land use and population statistics must also be amended, as the balance of the affected lands are to be redesignated to medium/high rise residential and commercial/business employment. The application will also align the ASP and NSP maps and statistics with the approved Meridian Street concept plan.

A planning application (map) has been received for a portion of 17404 Meridian Street NW. 

The application proposes to rezone a portion of the property from Public Utility Zone (PU) to Residential Mixed Dwelling Zone (RMD). 

The purpose of the proposed rezoning from PU to RMD is to allow for a range of dwelling types and densities including single-detached housing, semi-detached housing and limited row housing.

The proposed rezoning reflects a separate application (under LDA20-0056/Bylaw 19606) to amend the Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) by redistributing stormwater management facilities (SWMFs) and other land uses. The approved SWMF immediately north of the proposed rezoning area is proposed to be reduced in size, and adjacent land designated for low-density residential uses.

A planning application (map) has been received for a proposal to amend the Marquis Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) for the area south of the railway right-of-way, and east and west of Meridian Street NW, in the south portion of the Marquis neighbourhood.

The purpose of the proposed NSP amendment focuses on two areas:

1. Amendment area east and west of Meridian Street:

• Realign the collector roadway and adjust nearby land uses
• Redistribute a school/park site (north of the collector roadway) into 3 smaller pocket parks

2. Amendment area east of the Natural Area:

• Increase the size of the SWMF, thereby reducing the area of Single/Semi-detached Residential uses
• Realign the collector roadway in conjunction with these proposed land-use changes.

Overall, these proposed changes will:

• Decrease the Natural Area use by 0.4 ha
• Decrease SWMF uses by 2 ha
• Increase in Single/Semi-detached Residential uses by 6.2 ha
• Increase Low-rise/Multi/Medium Rise uses by 0.4 ha
