Local Rezoning – Feedback Requested
After a public hearing, Council supported our request to refer the bylaw back to Administration for reconsideration as an RF4 (semi-detached). The applicant has stated a desire to construct at least three units on the site. The community league looks forward to working with them and the surrounding residents on a design which allows for a gentle increase in density, without overtly impacting the surrounding properties.

The Glenwood CL is requesting feedback on a rezoning proposed for the corner of 163st and 97th avenue. If you live in the immediate area or have an interest in redevelopment in the community, Please read the following information and send us your thoughts via the comment form.
Zoning Bylaw Amendments for Residential Zones and Mature Communities
City Administration is proposing a large series of amendments to the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay (which establishes rules for the built-form of residential developments in mature communities) and a number of residential zones. The changes are being proposed as part of an implementation strategy for the Residential Infill Guidelines (policy passed in 2010 which lays out desired locations and guidelines for infill development, and multiple housing types. Some of the changes include loosening the restrictions on front-garages, giving development officers more discretion as to their location and design. Others include allowing duplex and semi-detached housing in certain locations under the RF1 zone. Which currently requires a rezoning to another residential zone (typically RF3 or RF4).
Some information from the EFCL is available here, as well as dates for community workshops on the subject. Below are presentation materials from the city and the complete Council report showing mark-ups of all the proposed changes. We hope to have a more readable breakdown of the proposed changes available in the future. For now however, please give these a read, and contact us with your feedbank. Thank you.
Bike Routes Feedback
Via the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues
(With 95th avenue scheduled to have on-street bike lanes created in 2013 and with the existing paths and connectivity in the area, this could be a great opportunity for the city to hear feedback and advice from Glenwood’s cyclists)
The City of Edmonton is interested in consulting with residents who bicycle commute regarding the system of on-street bike routes throughout the city.
Banister Research & Consulting Inc. has been retained to assist with the gathering of feedback in the form of a focus group and the analysis of the responses. We are conducting focus group research in the evening during the week of November 12th to the 16th, 2012.
Please forward this request to your members. Those interested in attending the focus group can contact Chris Stover at (780) 447-9017. We have limited space in the focus group; therefore people will be registered to attend on a first come, first served basis.
If you have questions regarding the legitimacy of the research, please contact Pam Hnytka at 780-442-1507 or via email at pam.hnytka@edmonton.ca.

Glenwood CL in the News – Edmonton Journal
West LRT Update
City Council has approved a final conceptual design plan for the WLRT Lewis Estates-Downtown Corridor. The approved plan does not incorporate any changes to the Jasper Place area from earlier drafts which were made available to the public. The Glenwood CL is dissapointed that none of our recommendations regarding traffic flow, and business/residential access were incorporated in Council’s final decision. For more information, visit Edmonton.ca/LRTprojects
With this decision made, the League will be focusing it’s civic involvement on advancing the goals of the Jasper Place Revitalization Strategy, and pursuing a statutory land-use plan (Area Redevelopment Plan) for the Glenwood Community, in order to manage current and future redevelopment pressures. We will be working closely with the West Edmonton Community Council and Jasper Place Revitalization Steering Committee on these efforts.
December 8th West LRT Public Hearing – Presentation
Below are links to the presentation the Glenwood Community League will be making to City Council’s Transportation and Public Works Committee this Wednesday.
Schools Closures
On Tuesday, November 30th, EPSB Trustees voted 7-2 for renewable two-year moratorium on school closures. 10 speakers also addressed the board in support of the motion (Glenwood’s presentation is below). This is an opportunity to work towards enhancing the viability of neighborhood schools in mature communities that we intend to take full advantage of.
Pawn Shop/Pay Day Loan Development Application
This past month the Glenwood CL received notice that a Development Permit has been approved for 10060-156st to change the current use from “General Retail” to Minor Second Hand Store (Pawn Shop) with an Accessory Professional, Financial and Office Support Service (Pay Day Loans). The notice and a map of the location are available below.
This application clearly runs contrary to the goals of the Jasper Place Revitalization and Stony Plain Road Business Revitalization Zone, and would likely be in violation of the Custom Commercial Overlay prescribed for future application on the Stony Plain Road corridor in the Jasper Place Revitalization Strategy. The league executive has filed an appeal and we are preparing for a hearing date before the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board on either the 14th, or 16th of December.
For more information check back here, or watch your email inbox if you are on the Glenwood mailing list.
