The site is located along 83 Street, an arterial road, and next to the Avonmore LRT Station. It is also close to other transit options such as bus routes, as well as schools, parks, and everyday services.
While City policy supports accommodating more housing in well-connected locations like this, the current zoning limits the amount of housing that can be built on the site. This application proposes to update the zoning to better match the location, while still allowing change to happen in a planned and predictable way.

Rezoning applications can raise questions, especially early in the process. Our role is to help explain what’s being proposed, what is not being proposed, and how decisions are made. If you have questions about this application, you’re welcome to reach out.

We are proposing to rezone the site from the RS - Small Scale Residential zone to the RSM h14 - Small-Medium Scale Residential zone, which would provide more housing choice in Avonmore and allow for modest increases in density directly next to the Valley Line LRT.
This application proposes a zoning change that better reflects the site’s location and surrounding area, using a standard zone already applied in similar parts of the city. The RSM h14 zone allows for a range of small- to medium-scale residential buildings intended to accommodate additional homes in a way that blends in with nearby small-scale residential buildings.
The proposed zoning would allow a modest increase in height and more homes than the current zoning allows. The RSM h14 zone typically allows for larger three-storey buildings, or in some cases four storeys depending on the design. Common building forms in this zone include row houses, stacked townhouses and small apartments. Final building size and design would be reviewed at later stages.
Any future development would be required to include landscaping such as trees, shrubs, and other soft landscaping, along with appropriate setbacks and building design measures to help the development fit comfortably with nearby streets and properties.
Rezoning is the first step in the land redevelopment process, followed by design, permits, and construction.
We're at the very first stage of the project. We submitted a rezoning application for this site in March 2026 to rezone to the RSM h14 zone.
