The City has now shared a final rezoning proposal for University-Garneau. The league planning committee is currently working on a position statement, as well as a number of tools to engage with our community and ensure everyone’s voices are heard on this important topic.

Members of our Planning Committee and other members of our community spoke at the January 24 Public Hearing regarding Bylaw 21025, which proposed rezoning 10948 89 Ave from RS to RM h16.0.

We want an amendment to the Scona District Plan to create a policy sub-area for small-scale, ground-oriented housing that is adaptable for multi-person households.

The City of Edmonton has released a Draft Rezoning Proposal map for Garneau and is seeking feedback digitally from 4-24 Nov and in-person on 13 Nov.

The community’s advocacy to date appears to have made a difference! Most of North and South Garneau have been removed from the proposed upzoning. While the new draft rezoning proposal is improved, two major problems remain: Lack of appropriate transitions, and reduction of small scale residentiall.
