MOTION: A.Benoit
Motion of support with conditions
The Committee recommends that the Applicant further work with Administration
to advance and refine a master plan vision for the site, with consideration of the City
of Edmonton Transit Oriented Design Guidelines. In particular, the Committee
notes the following elements require additional development:
● Size, configuration and integration of the proposed transit plaza. In the
opinion of the Committee the plaza is not large enough for this scale of
development
● Phasing and integration of the proposed public space amenity, including
commitment of built amenity area per phase
● Amount of publicly accessible vs. private open space amenity relative to
build-out
● Pedestrian connectivity into and through the site (eg. from corners)
● Better definition of block areas A, B, C, D, including building massing (and
identifying maximum FAR and massing relative to site coverage)
● Street sections with streetwall and building setbacks / stepbacks more clearly
defined
● Provision of primary parkade entrance locations
● Building entrances more clearly defined- particularly along Stony Plain
Road and abutting the proposed transit plaza
● References for building materials (eg. high quality, durable) in the DC
regulation
● A requirement for subsequent phases of this project to be reviewed by the
EDC at the development permit stage(s)
The Committee had some difficulty reviewing this submission due to its lack of
detail. To this end, the Committee recommends that Administration develop
specific submission requirements for these types of large-site redevelopment
projects.
Furthermore, the Committee recommends that for these types of large-site
redevelopments projects, that the corresponding Development Permit(s) be
reviewed by the Edmonton Design Committee.
