FIND YOUR NEW DISTRICT
City planners want to divide Edmonton into fifteen districts, each covering dozens of neighborhoods and establishing large “nodes” and “corridors” for intense development.
The plan goes to council in May. Learn more about this.
Find your property to understand the potential changes coming your way.
What Can Be Built in Your Neighbourhood?
If your property is in or near a secondary corridor, it will initially be zoned as small-residential but at any time developers may apply to have properties rezoned for midrise (5-8 storey) buildings.
THIS CREATES PERMANENT UNCERTAINTY IF YOU LIVE IN THESE AREAS.
Secondary Corridors
SC
This zone permits new buildings that can cover more of the lot and sit closer to front sidewalks. Eight-housing units are allowed on 50-foot lots and more units may be allowed on corners. Three-story apartment buildings will be permitted almost anywhere.
PUBLIC APPEALS OF PROJECTS WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED.
Small Residential
R ZONE
If your property is in or near a primary corridor, it will initially be zoned as small-residential but at any time developers may apply to have properties rezoned for midrise (5-8 storey) or highrise buildings.
THIS CREATES PERMANENT UNCERTAINTY IF YOUR HOUSE IS IN THESE CORRIDORS.
