Zoning Bylaw and Amendments

This is to advise that the Zoning Maps in Appendix No. 2 of the Zoning Bylaw No. 2135 are now considerably out of date because of the extended coverage of the Zoning Bylaw and should not therefore be ref erred to as an accurate representation of zoning within the City of Edmonton.

More up to date plans of City zoning

can be obtained from the City Planning Department for $1.50 plus mailing charges.

These are revised once every six to twelve months,

and copies of map amendments thereto during the interim period between revisions may be obtained from the Planning Department for a nominal charge. I have enclosed a list of Zoning Amendment Bylaws to the original Zoning Bylaw No. 2135 for your information, and I would suggest that you insert these in your copy of the Zoning Bylaw. Copies of additional amendments will be mailed to you from time to time.

G. Hardcastle, CHIEF PLANNER.

GENERAL REFERENCE LIST TO AMENDMENTS

The original Zoning Bylaw for Edmonton was passed in

1933 and was suspended in July, 1950, and interim development control continued until October, 1961, when Zoning Bylaw No. 2135 was passed by City Council.

This Bylaw covered about 30% of the

City which included basically the new residential districts. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2272 was the first major extension to the areas under zoning coverage, and this amendment increased the coverage to equal about 80% of the City.

Other Zoning Bylaw Amend-

ments are primarily zoning extensions resulting from replotting schemes. The remaining 20% of the City, including Beverly, is presently under study and a Zoning Bylaw Amendment should soon result in complete coverage of the City. Number of Zoning Bylaw Amendments Number extending coverage

Re: Thi~

Zoning Bylaw and Amendments

is to advise that the Zoning Maps in Appendix No. 2

of the Zoning :Bylaw No. 2135 are now considera..bly out of date i

because of the extended coverage of the Zoning Bylaw and should I

not therefore 1be ref erred to as an accurate representation of zoning within the Ci~y of Edmonton.

More up to date plans of City zoning

can be obtained from the City Planning Department for $1.50 plus I mailing charges.

These are revised once every six to twelve months,

and copies of map amendments thereto during the interim period between I

revisions may, be obtained from the Planning Department for a nominal

I I I I I I I I

charge. I

I have enclosed a list of Zoning Amendment Bylaws to I

the original Zoning Bylaw No. 2135 for your information, and I would suggest that ~ou insert these in your copy of the Zoning Bylaw. I

Copies of additional.amendments will be mailed to you from. time to i time.
