Planning 101

Planning in the City of Edmonton is typically done through the zoning bylaw. It determines what can be built where. Historically the Garneau Redevelopment Plan outlined which zoning was appropriate and where. Every developer has a right to ask for a rezone and as community members we can support or not support the rezoning application. The same goes for variances. The Garneau Planning Chair will typically write letters of support or non-support for development applications on behalf of the community. In many cases individuals choose to also represent their views at hearings- which are held by the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.

Engaged Edmonton

Engaged Edmonton is the place to have a voice in development including the Zoning Bylaw Renewal. Although TGCL provides letters and correspondence on behalf of the community, it’s important that individual voices are heard as well. Sign up! Be a voice for Garneau!
