Should a 6-Storey Mixed-Use Building Replace Houses in Parkview?
Official title: LDA25-0365 Revised Parkview Rezoning
A developer wants to rezone three residential lots at 142 Street and 91 Avenue NW in Edmonton's Parkview neighbourhood. The revised proposal would allow a 6-storey mixed-use building with shops on the ground floor and apartments above. The original plan was scaled back after community feedback—the height dropped from 23 to 21 metres, and a city-owned lot was removed from the proposal.
Why This Matters
Live near 142 Street and 91 Avenue? This could change your neighbourhood's look and feel. A 6-storey building would replace single-family homes on a corner lot. More housing and shops could mean more foot traffic—but also more shadows and density than what's there now.
What Could Change
If approved, the zoning would change from single-family residential to mixed-use. That means a building up to 21 metres tall with ground-floor commercial space could be built. The developer would then need development and building permits before construction starts.
Key Issues
- Is a 6-storey mixed-use building appropriate for this residential corner?
- Are the revised setbacks and reduced height sufficient to address neighbourhood concerns?
- How will shadows from the building affect neighbouring properties?
