May 14, 2024 – City Presentation at the AGM identified that the swapped land will be proposed for affordable housing.
June 27, 2024 – City announced they are moving forward with the land swap. They will submit an application to rezone a 1 hectare portion of the park site that is north of the West Edmonton Mall Inn to RM23, which allows for a maximum height of 23.0 metres (approximately six storeys).
July 23, 2024 – Notifications were mailed out to residents within a 120 meter radius.
July 29, 2024 to August 11, 2024 – Public feedback collected online
August 20, 2024 – City announced a tentative date for the Public Hearing of the zoning application – October 21. City Council will make a decision about the rezoning application as well as other decision points, including approval to sell the site below-market to an affordable housing provider.
Updates about the project, including all mailouts, are posted on the city’s website: edmonton.ca/HousingDevelopments.
