150 Edison Drive ASP Amendment and Redistricting

Invistec Consulting Ltd. on behalf of Landrex, applied to amend the Erin Ridge North Area Structure Plan (ASP) Bylaw 33/2009 and the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) 18/2024. The proposed ASP & LUB amendments require a public hearing, and the approval of Council.
Location
The site subject to the amendments is legally described as Plan 232 2715, Block 6, Lot 79 and is municipally addressed as 150 Edison Drive. The subject site is 1.74 Hectares and is located in the north-east portion of the Erin Ridge North neighbourhood. This site is bounded by MR (park) to the west and south, low density residential to the north and Edison Drive to the east. Please see the location map below.
Proposed Area Structure Plan Amendment
The applicant has proposed to amend the Erin Ridge North Area Structure Plan Bylaw 33/2009 to re-designate the subject site from High Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. Associated Area Structure Plan text amendments are also being proposed to update the Development Statistics.
As part of this Area Structure Plan amendment application submission, the applicant has provided an Area Structure Plan Technical Report and figures.
The proposed reduction in density will be reviewed for conformity against minimum density requirements in the Erin Ridge North Area Structure Plan and the Municipal Development Plan (Flourish). Reduced density in the ASP would mean fewer number of dwelling units can be built on the subject site which could result in fiscal implications for the City's tax base and cost of supporting infrastructure.
Proposed Land Use Bylaw Schedule A Amendment (Redistricting)
The applicant has proposed to amend the Land Use Bylaw 18/2024 to redistrict the subject site from the High Density Residential (HDR) district to the Medium Density Residential (MDR) district, in order to align with the Area Structure Plan land use designation.
