The Uplands Planning Applications

An application (map) has been made to rezone a portion of 2304 199 Street NW and a portion of 20704 23 Avenue NW.

The current zoning is Agricultural Zone (AG).

The proposed zoning is Metropolitan Recreation Zone (A), Public Utility Zone (PU) and Residential Low Density Zone (RLD).

The proposed rezoning conforms with The Uplands Neighbourhood Structure Plan, which designates the subject site as Town Centre Mixed-Use - Medium Rise. The purpose of the Metropolitan Recreation Zone is to preserve natural areas and parkland along the river, creeks, ravines and other designated areas for recreational uses. The purpose of the Public Utility zone is for a system or utilities that are used to benefit the public. 

The purpose of the Residential Low-Density zone is to provide a range of housing forms that use land and infrastructure more efficiently than typical low-density development. The zone provides flexibility of lot sizes and widths to provide choice and to accommodate a mix of housing types, including Zero Lot Line Development in developing neighbourhoods.

A planning application (map) has been received for portions of a property at 2303 199 Street NW.

The application proposes to rezone the property from Row Housing Zone (RF5) and two existing Direct Development Control Provisions (DC1); DC1 18262 and DC1 18775, to Direct Development Control Provision (DC1), Residential Low-Density Zone (RLD), and Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2).

The applicant's rationale for the proposed rezoning is to utilize the RLD Zone, which was not available at the time the land was initially rezoned to residential. Additionally, the proposed DC1 and DC2 Provisions are for Row Housing development which was established in other locations and is preferred by the builders who will be developing the site.

The proposed rezoning conforms to The Uplands Neighbourhood Structure Plan, which identifies the rezoning area for Single/Semi-detached Housing and Row Housing.
