Should This Church Site Become Housing? Rezoning at 11520 Ellerslie Road SW
Official title: LDA25-0223: 11520 Ellerslie Road SW Rezoning MacEwan
Edmonton is considering rezoning a church property in MacEwan to allow multi-unit housing. The revised proposal would permit buildings up to 6 storeys near Ellerslie Road, stepping down to 3-4 storeys closer to existing homes. The applicant scaled back the original plan after public feedback.
Why This Matters
Live near Ellerslie Road and 115 Street? This could change what gets built next door. The proposal means more housing density in your neighbourhood. Traffic, parking, and the look of the area could all shift.
What Could Change
If approved, the church site could become a mix of row housing and apartment buildings. The tallest section would allow 6-storey buildings with ground-floor commercial. The Southwest District Plan would also be amended to designate this as an Urban Mix area.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed building height (up to 6 storeys) appropriate for this location?
- Does the revised proposal adequately transition to surrounding lower-density homes?
- Should the Southwest District Plan be amended to allow Urban Mix uses here?
