Why Zoning Changes Are Being Considered Here

This site currently houses the Alfalah Center. The rezoning will enable the expansion of the Alfalah Centre, to accommodate a larger building and services such as a school, mosque, hall, offices, and more.

This site is a corner site located along 23 Avenue, close to parks, schools, and services at Millwoods Town Centre. It close to transportation options including bike routes, bus routes along 23 Ave and 47 Street, and is within walking distance to Mill Woods Transit Centre.

City policy supports accommodating more housing in well-connected locations near existing amenities, schools and services like this site.

What This Rezoning Would Change

We are proposing to rezone the site to the MU h16 f3.5 zone, with no commercial frontage modifier. This zone would enable a low-rise, mixed use community services building to support the growth of the Alfalah Center.

Zone

The MU 16 3.5 zone allows for a range of low rise residential, commercial, and community services buildings intended to accommodate a variety of building forms, and provide future flexibility for redevelopment. This zone will allow the Alfalah Center to continue operating today, while exploring expansion opportunities in the future such as a school, mosque, hall, and residential units.

Height & Design

The new zone allows for a maximum height of 16m, or approximately four storeys. Additionally, strong design regulations will make the future building welcoming and inviting for pedestrians, with entrances facing the street. Final building size and design would be reviewed at later stages.

Landscaping & Transitions

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.

Project Stage

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 late June 2026 to rezone to the Mu h16 f3.5 zone.

  • Rezoning Rezoning is the first step in the redevelopment process. At this stage, Council is deciding whether the zoning rules for the site should change. Rezoning does not approve a specific building design.
  • Design & Development Permit If the rezoning is approved, a detailed building design is prepared. This is when the building design and landscaping is reviewed by the City, as well as any necessary upgrades to infrastructure (like fire hydrants, etc.). The property owner is required to pay for upgrades.
  • Building Permits Once the development permit is approved, building permits are required. This stage focuses on safety and the technical building requirements of the Alberta Building Code.
  • Construction Construction can begin once all required permits are in place. The City inspects construction to ensure it follows approved plans.
