We're proposing row housing on this corner site: about eight homes, at 2-3 storeys, each with it's own front door connecting to the street.
The current zoning already allows a row house on this lot. The issue is size: the lot is just small enough that only seven units fit. The rezoning allows slightly more room to build, which lets us do four row house units with a suite in each basement, and gives the main floor units a bit more living space.
This location is a reasonable place for that. The site is located on 51 Ave, an arterial road, and it's within walking distance of 3 elementary schools, a junior high school, and Lendrum Place Park & Community league. It has a bus stop for 2 routes, including Route 55 Crosstown (WEM to Meadows) out front, and is within 15 minutes walk to Southgate LRT station. City Plan and the Scona District Plan identify this area as one where more housing is expected over time. Row housing is a modest form of that growth: more homes than a single house on a lot, at a scale that fits a residential street.
This map shows nearby schools, parks, transit, and services within walking distance of the site.
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're applying to rezone the site to allow for a low rise residential building. The current zoning only allows a small scale residential building. Proposed Zone: RSM h14.
The Small-Medium Scale Transition Residential Zone (RSM h14) allows for slightly larger buildings than the standard small-scale residential (RS) zone. This lets the building have more liveable unit sizes, supporting family-friendly units within walking distance to schools, parks, and transit.
With a maximum height of 14m, the proposed zone would allow a modest increase in height and more homes than the current zoning permits (9.5m). Final building size and design would be reviewed at later stages.
Any future development would be required to include landscaping, setbacks, and building design measures to help the building 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. A rezoning application for this site was submitted to the City of Edmonton in September 2026 to rezone the site to the RSM h14 zone.

Mail-out notification and signage are issued by the City on its own timeline. On our files, we also send neighbour mail-outs beyond what the City requires, and those go out on a separate schedule from the City's notice. If you live within the mail-out radius, you can expect a postcard from us in the coming weeks.
