I'm a fan. It should save money and time and I wouldn't have minded if the city had done this for some of those 8 plexes.

I'm pleasantly surprised this multi-unit apartment (The Devonshire) on 112st, south of Jasper Ave, is getting a new lease on life rather than getting torn down. Last fall it was in rough shape but now it's getting new windows, roof, and interior work.

Not often that we see lots getting “down-zoned.”
The tree in question.

What are the advantages of downzoning, I don't fully understand. Does it have to do with property values and taxes? The website says the current zoning proves impractical, but I'm actually curious why? What's stopping someone from developing small scale residential on the land anyways?View attachment 636375

It's too bad they didn't want to build a home around this tree as well which was cut down on the same lot.View attachment 636375

It depends on the development type, but one factor is that it can be to appeal to NIMBY buyers/residents. See Glenora.
A restrictive covenant (RC) on a lot should inherently reduce the value of it, but since it essentially "guarantees" the type of future eligible developments it can make the properties more desirable. I prefer high density and mixed use, but to each their own.

Going to Council on Monday:
Garneau: rezoning from the Small Scale Residential Zone (RS) to the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h16.0) to allow for medium scale housing. This file was previously referred back to Administration, as discussed in our Feb 3 #yeg public hearing edition of Zone In.
Malmo Plains: rezoning from the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h16.0) to the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h23.0) to allow for mid-rise housing.
Strathcona: rezoning from a Direct Control Zone to the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h28.0) to allow for mid-rise housing.
Strathcona: rezoning from the Small Scale Residential Zone (RS) to the Small-Medium Scale Transition Residential Zone (RSM h12.0) to allow for small to medium scale housing.
McKernan: rezoning from the Small Scale Residential Zone (RS) to the Small-Medium Scale Transition Residential Zone (RSM h12.0) to allow for small to medium scale housing.
Strathcona: Small Scale Residential Zone (RS) to the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h16.0) to allow for low-rise residential development with limited commercial opportunities at the ground level.
Kensington: rezoning from the Small Scale Residential Zone (RS) to the Small-Medium Scale Transition Residential Zone (RSM h12.0) to allow for small scale residential development up to 3 storeys.
Belvedere: rezoning from the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h16) to the Medium Scale Residential Zone (RM h23) to allow for mid-rise housing.
Kinokamau Plains Area: rezoning from two Direct Control Zones to the Public Utility Zone (PU) and a new Direct Control Zone (DC) to allow for a stormwater management facility and a Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) facility.
Tweddle Place: rezoning from a Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) to a new Direct Control Zone (DC) to allow for medium scale housing and community amenities.
Mostly uninteresting but I am intrigued by the "Kinokamau Plains Area" rezoning. Never even heard of that area before now.

I hope Tweedle Place is approved and development can happen.

Is this one of the Strathcona proposals going to council tomorrow?

I cannot believe how ugly these things are. Sure they look like "gentle density" from the front, but how do you even sell a unit like this? There's almost no windows and they look like portable classrooms.

I think the front looks nice, which is probably all the people who buy them care about

This feels like a step backwards: A proposal is going to public hearning on April 7 looking to downzone (if that's a word) a pair of properties at 97 St and 76 Ave in Ritchie from RM h16 to RS. It's vacant land right now, and administration says allowing single family homes on the site is a good thing.
