A planning application (map) has been received for properties at 10240, 10305, 10319 and 10415 Princess Elizabeth Avenue; 10816 and 10820 118 Avenue, and 11762 and 11763 106 Street.

The application proposes to rezone the properties from Alternative Jurisdiction Zone (AJ), Neighbourhood Convenience Commercial Zone (CNC), Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2), and Municipal Airport Zone (MA) to Urban Institutional Zone (UI).

The proposed rezoning to Urban Institutional Zone (UI)  is to provide for educational or institutional facilities within mature areas of the city, and associated uses that complement institutional development.

The purpose of this rezoning application is to consolidate properties owned by the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) into a single zone.

A planning application (map) has been received for rezoning at 11111 101 Street NW, 9720 111 Avenue NW, 9728 111 Avenue NW, and 9730 111 Avenue NW.

The proposed application is to rezone from Small Scale Infill Development (RF3) and General Business Zone (CB2), to Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2). This would allow for a development with two buildings. 

The building along 111 Avenue NW would feature at-grade commercial space with entrances facing towards the street engaging people who walk by, and a second storey with commercial office space, with the top two storeys as residential space.  

A building at the rear of the site would be up to three storeys, featuring living and working space. Parking will be provided underground, and at grade to the rear of the buildings under the second storey.

This application also includes a road closure (map) along 111 Avenue NW. This would legally close the lane between the two parcels subject to the rezoning, and would be consolidated and rezoned as a single site.
