Queen Alexandra Planning Applications

A  planning application (map) has been received for properties at 10416 70 Avenue NW, 10480 73 Avenue NW, 7004 104 Street NW, and 7015 105 Street NW.

The application proposes to rezone the properties from the Small-Scale Infill Development Zone (RF3) and Urban Services Zone (US) to the Public Parks Zone (AP).

The purpose of the Public Parks Zone (AP) is to provide an area of public land for active and passive recreational uses and allow for an opportunity for public schools.

There is an associated lot consolidation and road closure to enable the creation of one parcel in order to accommodate the construction of a new community recreation facility.

The proposed road closure is for portions of lane right-of-way that are not functioning as lanes and are currently part of a grass field. No changes to vehicle access or movements are proposed.

1. Regulations that require a 500-metre separation distance between different Liquor Stores
2. Regulations that require a 100-metre separation distance between a Liquor Store and community or recreation activities such as community league buildings and children’s playgrounds or play areas

If approved, Liquor Stores within this DC1 Provision along Whyte Avenue could be within 500 meters of other Liquor Stores or within 100 metres of community or recreation activities and such a location shall not require the Development Officer to grant a variance.
