Invistec Consulting, on behalf of Landrex Hunter Ridge, is proposing an Area Structure Plan (ASP) for lands in Northeast St. Albert. The proposed plan area is located north of the Erin Ridge and Erin Ridge North neighbourhoods, south and east of Township Road 544/future 127 Street, and east of St. Albert Trail/Highway 2 (see map above). The ASP proposes future land uses broadly categorized as "neighbourhood", "employment", "stormwater management facility", "school site", "major open spaces", and various "mixed use" nodes.
The Area Structure Plan Land Use Concept will define general future land uses within the plan area, but does not set Land Use Bylaw districts on specific properties.
In response to requests made by the City of St. Albert and other stakeholders, key changes made by the applicant since the previous version of the ASP include:
Replacing the ‘Commercial’ and ‘Neighbourhood’ designations previously proposed along parts of St. Albert Trail and the future 127th Street entirely with an ‘Employment’ designation;
Changing the ‘Special Study Area’ previously proposed between Bellerose Drive and the Sturgeon River with ‘Major Open Spaces’;
Adding another stormwater management facility adjacent to St. Albert Trail;
Making minor adjustments to the conceptual locations of select road alignments, schools, and mixed-used nodes; and
In consideration of the above changes, updating the following supporting documents where appropriate: Technical Report; Engineering Design Brief; Hydraulic Network Analysis; and Traffic Impact Assessment. (The remaining supporting documents did not necessitate updating: Natural Area Assessment; Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment; Agricultural Impact Assessment; Historical Resources Approval; Public Meeting Record).
The decision authority for the proposed new Area Structure Plan is St. Albert City Council. The proposed Area Structure Plan will be referred to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board prior to St. Albert City Council holding a Public Hearing. At this time, no date has been set for the public hearing. When a public hearing date is determined, it will be advertised in the St. Albert Gazette newspaper under Citylights, and posted here on Cultivate the Conversation.
Comments and opinions can be submitted here until January 10, 2024. These submissions will be sent to the Planner managing the application, and will also be given to Council as part of the agenda report. Questions about the project and/or process can also be submitted here.
Please be advised that comments you submit may be made public, subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
