Community Information Session
Nov 20 - 7 PM 
​@ Gronvenor Community League Hall

Situate is inviting neighbours to join us for a community information session about a
proposed rezoning at 10471 -149 Street NW. We’re proposing to rezone the property from the RS (Small Scale Residential) zone to RSM h14 (Small-Medium Scale
Transition Residential) zone to allow for a new three-storey residential building.

There will be a presentation at 7:15pm followed by a drop-in session. Situate’s project team will be available to answer questions and hear from neighbours.

Come learn more about the proposal, ask questions, and share your thoughts!

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

Grovenor Newsletter Editor Vacancy

Governor Community League is searching for an individual to take on the board member role of Newsletter Editor. As with all board member positions, this one is flexible in that the candidate is able to perform the responsibilities of the role during time that best fits their own schedule.

The newsletter is a staple of the Grovenor Community and has been in circulation for many years. It is published quarterly (March, June, September, and December), to coincide most effectively with relevant/seasonal community league events (e.g. Summer Programs, Fall Fest, AGM, Ice Rinks, Soccer, etc.).

This is an exciting position and the community league hopes to fill it with someone who has as much passion about this community as its many members.

To learn more about the role, please see the full position posting here.
