ilanning Departmegg INDUSTRIAL LOT COUNT CITY OF EDMONTON OCTOBER 31, 1972
LIBRARY The City of Edmonton
Introduction At the request of the Industrial Development Department, an industrial lot count was established in January, 1969. This count has been carried out annually to determine the amount of vacant serviced industrial land in industrial zones of the city. The report is done to evaluate the yearly additional land requirements needed for industrial expansion. In order to conform with the data cut-off date in the P.L.U.S. program, the 1971 count was changed to October 31, covering only a ten month period. The present count reverts back to a full twelve month count. City owned vacant land is tabulated but it must be noted that not all land shown vacant is available for development. Much of this land is being held for city needs, such as road expansion and future utility locations. Methodology Initial data were collected from the combined sources of aerial photography, building permit application, Architects and Assessor's files and a field survey. Subsequent counts have been based on information from Municipal Planning Commission decisions regarding transfers and subdivisions of parcels, building permits and a field survey. The criteria established for the purpose of these counts are: 1. Parcels enclosed by a permanent wire fence, appearing to be used for storage of heavy equipment, lumber, etc. are considered as no longer vacant at the time of the count. Because of property
2 leasing, this can change the vacancy of the same parcel of land from year to year. 2. Tables show accurate calculation of area in registered subdivisions but show approximate gross rather than net, acreage in large parcels. Replotting and resubdivision of these parcels can change acreage calculations on a yearly count. 3. "Serviced" vacant land includes water, sewer, major power lines, pavement and curbs. "Partly serviced" includes one or more of these services. Observations Table J.-, "Summary of Total industrial Land", is a summary of the vacant serviced and partly serviced industrial land in the City of Edmonton; the amount of this land that is owned by the City of Edmonton; and the development that has occurred during the twelve month period. These data are listed by the areas in which they are located and shown on the attached map. There were approximately 598 acres of serviced and partly serviced industrial land vacant as at October 31, 1972. Of this total, 385 acres are serviced and approximately 90 acres are under the City of Edmonton ownership. Although this land is municipally owned it is not all available for development as there are some 70 acres of serviced and 25 acres of partly serviced committed to freeway proposals, replotting schemes and other municipal purposes. The greater proportion of vacant serviced land appears to be under private ownership being held for future expansion of existing industries, for investment speculation or under leasehold agreement.
3 The amount of land developed during 1971-72 was 163 acres -I-. This figure was derived from a field survey of actual development or storage on the site. The parcels that may have been under option to purchase or under building permit applications not yet in effect, have been considered as vacant land. Table 2, "Tabulation of Vacant and Developed Land", includes detailed lot count data for the previous reports and is the source for Table 1. These statistics show that at October 31, 1972, the amount of vacant serviced land has decreased by approximately 150 acres, from the previous count. Table 3, "Tabulation of Serviced and Partly Serviced Vacant Industrial Land by Zone", lists the vacant serviced and partly serviced land by zone, number of parcels and the range in size of the parcels in each subdivision. In the northwest sector the amount of vacant M2 land still exceeds the amount of M1 land vacant, whereas in the southeast area the amount is almost equal in M1 and M2 categories. Table 4, "Tabulation of Developed Industrial Land by Zone", shows the rate of development most active in M2 categories, with M1 and M3 relatively inactive in all areas. The amount of land serviced in 1972 was approximately 60 acres, mostly occurring in pavement and curb facilities in the southeast sector. Summary and Conclusions 1.
Vacant land in the three industrial secters has decreased by 150 acres to a total of 598 acres Âą as of October 31, 1972. Of this total, only 385 acres are fully serviced. The City owns 90 acres, with the remain-
in g 1.
at.1 unt under private ownership.
Table 2 shows new services have been added to approximately 60 acres
of vacant industrial land since the last survey was conducted. It must be noted that these services consisted of the additions of pavement and curbs, serving only a minor function in development of partially serviced to fully serviced lots. A servicing program of major utilities appears to be needed in the near future. Development of vacant land has increased from the 1971 count to 163 acres.
This increased activity indicates that some privately owned
land is being placed on the market, as only 40 acres of City owned land was developed. Some redevelopment is occurring on previously developed sites and resubdivision of larger parcels is occurring more frequently. 4.
Indications still point to a relatively large amount of vacant serviced land being held under private ownership which does not appear to be available for development.
