Grovenor 2025 Winter Newsletter
Message from Departing 1st VP of Grovenor Communtiy League
Greetings everyone:
Thanks to everyone who could attend the AGM both In-person or virtually.
Congratulations to the newly elected Board for 2026.
Having served as an executive on the board over the past 15 years as Treasurer, Vice President and President, I decided a few months ago that it would be timely to transition from an executive role on the community league board to a Director at Large role in support of the new board of directors and the Grovenor community overall.
As noted last evening at the AGM as well as in our December newsletter, once again I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in our community league board and all of the dedicated community league volunteers who have been involved in the various community events and activities over the past several years.
It has indeed been a pleasure to serve as Treasurer, President and Vice President on the board over the last 15 years and working with our board members and community volunteers!
Our board has supported the Grovenor community VERY WELL in making it an enjoyable and safe place in which to live and prosper !!
Best regards always!
Gerry O'Donnell

Notice! - Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Bylaw which affect commercial spaces in residential zones.
At the October 16-23, 2023, City Council Public Hearing, the following motion was made:
"“That Administration provide a report, including amendments to Charter Bylaw 20001, to reduce the maximum Floor Area per individual commercial establishment from 300 m2 to 100 m 2 in the (RS) Small Scale Residential Zone.”
The Zoning Bylaw team has prepared a draft report with the proposed amendments (Attachment 5) to present to Urban Planning Committee on June 18, 2024.
1. Draft Report
2. Attachment 1: Jurisdiction Scan
3. Attachment 2: Permit and Licensing Data
4. Attachment 3: Small Business Examples
5. Attachment 4: Commercial Stakeholder Insight
6. Attachment 5: Markup and Rationale of Proposed Text Amendment
Background
The city advises that the Zoning Bylaw 20001 comprehensively replaces Zoning Bylaw 20001 comprehensively replaces Zoning Bylaw 12800, which was first adopted in 2001. Although Zoning Bylaw 12800 was reviewed, updated and adopted in 2001, the last significant overhaul was completed in 1961, when Edmonton's population was 276,000. Today, Edmonton has grown to a population of more than one million and is on pace to reach 1.25 million by 2030.
How to Provide Your Feedback:
We invite you to review the proposed amendment, draft report and attachments and provide any feedback to [email protected] by end of day on Tuesday, April 9, 2024
