1. PLAN AREA
The area designated as the Coliseum/Stadium Redevelopment Area is shown as Schedule A on the following page. The extent of the redevelopment area is based on a 1,500 ft. radius drawn around each station (representing a five minute walking distance), and has been adjusted so as to incorporate the complete sites of major land uses and areas bounded by arterial roads.

2. PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN
1.
To promote the efficient operation of light rail transit, automobile and pedestrian traffic in Northeast Edmonton.
2.
To establish a pattern of land use and development which will favour ridership of the light rail transit. This involves the provision of higher densities close and convenient to the stations and a general land use change from the existing industrial uses adjacent to the tracks to residential and commercial uses.
3.
To preserve the scale and character of the major portion of existing neighbourhoods by minimizing the adverse impact of additional
traffic and development.
4.
To maximize the benefits of increased transit accessibility and road re-alignments in new and existing development.
5.
To establish guidelines for the application of Land Use Bylaw Districts and for the exercise of discretion by the Development Officer.
6.
To provide a clear allocation of municipal and private opportunities and responsibilities concerning redevelopment of the Coliseum/ Stadium Redevelopment Area.

PLAN OBJECTIVES
The following planning objectives describe the major land use planning concepts that will shape the physical content, character and organization of the Redevelopment Area.
3.1
COMMUNITY INTEGRITY The heart of existing residential neighbourhoods should be preserved and protected from the intrusion of through traffic and excessive new development, the bulk of which should occur at the edges of the neighbourhoods, not the centres. Sites in need of community repair will be given high priority for development approvals. Redevelopment of currently healthy and attractive buildings, particularly those with historic value, will be discouraged.
Action: (a) Preserve the major portion of each existing neighbourhood as a single family housing land use. Within this major area, low scale redevelopment of slightly higher density will be permitted in areas requiring community repair. (b) Relocate arterials to the periphery of neighbourhoods. Modify the local road grid or traffic pattern to discourage through traffic within neighbourhoods. (c) Require the provision of suitable landscape edges between incompatible land uses; e.g. residential communities and industry or parking lots (see objectives 5 and 7).
4
(d) Control the quantity and distribution of new development in order to avoid displacing existing healthy housing, and restrict major redevelopment sites to the edges of the neighbourhoods. (e) Protect the existing community scale and character against the intrusion of inappropriate new development by means of transition zoning (see objective 2). (f) Encourage the provision of additional family housing in neighbourhoods facing declining school enrollments.

3.2
DENSITY AND BUILDING FORM Higher density redevelopment should concentrate around points of high accessibility at the stations, and scale down further away so that there is a transition zone between high density and existing low density neighbourhoods. Building massing should be organized so as to maximize usable open space at grade. This encourages low rise, courtyarded, higher density building forms.
Action: (a) High rise development has a ten storey height limit. (b) Low rise high density development has a five storey height limit, with a top floor setback. (c) Low rise medium density multiple family housing has a four storey height limit. (d) Row housing has a two and half storey height limit. These forms to be combined so that higher buildings are buffered by lower buildings.

SCALE OF DEVELOPMENT Land Use Districts should be precise and applied in a fine grain manner, rather than spread over large portions of the city. Within this general provision, larger and comprehensive development parcels are restricted to the immediate vicinity of the stations - selective or infill development will be permitted further out.
Action: Permissible locations for development by type and density are shown on SCHEDULE B:
Land Use Districts.

3.4
RESIDENTIAL SECURITY New medium and high density residential projects should be designed using principles of crime prevention through urban design. This will encourage designs with well-defined outdoor space between buildings that seem to "belong" to residents, that are overlooked by them, and it should be obvious to an outsider that this is the case.
Action: (a) Encourage designs which assign outdoor space to small and homogeneous user groups for their own use and control. (b) Encourage the design of outdoor space so that it can be easily defined, so that residents will easily adopt proprietory attitudes towards it. (c) Encourage the design of exterior spaces which can be surveyed from
the dwelling interiors. (d) Encourage the design of dwelling entries along the streets so that the street will seem to be part of the residential environment.

LANDSCAPED EDGES A landscaped edge should be provided between the C.N.R./L.R.T. right-of-way and adjacent development to create a pleasant view from the trains and the buildings. Similar landscape edges should be provided between residential areas and incompatible uses such as industry, the Exhibition Grounds, Clarke Field, and major parking areas.
Action: (a) A landscaped edge along the L.R.T. right-of-way (i.e. screening of parking lots, storage yards, and service-areas, and the provision of a safety barrier) shall be incorporated in new developments as stated in Section 69.3 of the Land Use Bylaw. (b) A landscape edge, a minimum of 5 metres in width, shall be provided around the Exhibition Grounds. (c) A 3 metre landscaped strip shall be provided around all major parking areas.

3.6
ENERGY CONSERVATION Medium to high density development projects should be laid out, and the buildings designed to conserve energy, and make use of the sun's warmth. This results in medium density arrangements of buildings which are low (so as to prevent overshadowing), continuous (so as to conserve heat), and south facing (so as to absorb the sun's warmth).
Action: (a) Encourage low rise medium to higher density concentrations of building form. (b) Encourage mixed use projects to facilitate the transfer of spare energy from one use to another. (c) Encourage building geometrics which minimize the ratio between the surface area and internal volume compatible with other objectives
such as building character. (d) Orient buildings so that sunlight can fall on them if this is an energy advantage. (e) Around buildings, plant deciduous trees to provide summer shade and coniferous trees to provide shelter from winter winds. (f) Promote higher densities with direct and easy access to efficient modes of transport such as walking, bicycling, and transit.

EXHIBITION GROUNDS The internal development of the Exhibition Grounds are not subject to this Bylaw, with the exception of the minimum 5 metre perimeter landscape edge requirement. The present Exhibition Grounds boundary may be expanded in future to that approved in 1972 and shown in Figure 12. Access should be limited to major arterials, and the impact of parking on the surrounding residential areas should be controlled.
Action: (a) As transportation plans are revised, access to the site should be limited to entrances from 111 Avenue, 79th Street and 73rd Street (via 112 Avenue) and from 116 Avenue (via the Capilano Freeway). A parking ban similar to the one in effect in the Stadium area should be established. (b) Approval of redevelopment or expansion will be contingent upon the provision of a 5 metre landscape edge at the perimeter of the site, with the exception of the western edge of the Grounds abutting the LRT right-of-way, which shall be subject to the screen planting requirements of Section 69.3 of the Land Use Bylaw.

3.13 SCHOOLS AND NEIGHBOURHOOD PARKS These should be retained and preserved. Where appropriate, schools and parks may be combined. Land acquisition for expansion of existing facilities or new construction will be funded by the Redevelopment Levy. New locations for additional park space will be established when the need for them arises and funds for their purchase are available.
Action: (a) The forthcoming Community Plan for Parkdale will define locations for new or expanded facilities in this area. (b) When arterial traffic on the Fort Road is relocated to the periphery of neighbourhoods, and if sections of the existing Fort Road are closed, these may make appropriate park areas. (c) Additional parkland and community-oriented recreation facilities commensurate with increases in population, will be provided on the basis of 1.8 acres per 1,000 population as per the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (1979-1983).
21
3.14 MAJOR RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE
Existing open space in the North Saskatchewan River Valley and Borden Park should be preserved and linked to nearby residential areas and recreational facilities by means of pedestrian walkways and bike routes.
Action: (a) Develop the North Saskatchewan River Valley in accordance with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (1979-'83), and Bylaw No. 4054 regulating residential development abutting the river valley and the ravine system.
22
3.15 PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
A pedestrian priority zone is established within a five-minute walking distance from the L.R.T. stations. Within each zone a strong pedestrian network integrating public and private properties should be developed. Pedestrian linkages should be established between zones.
Action: (a) Within the pedestrian priority zones delineated in Schedule C (Circulation Systems) applicants for a development permit shall submit plans to the Development Officer showing how the pedestrian walkway provisions of the Area Redevelopment Plan Bylaw have been
achieved, in accordance with Section 15.3 and 15.4 of the Land Use Bylaw.
(b) Responsibility for the cost and construction of the designated pedestrian walkways on private property shall be assumed by the Developer by means of a development agreement, as specified in Section 17.4.b of the Land Use Bylaw. (c) External and sheltered pedestrian walkway development should generally comply with the construction specifications for minor walkways, described in the City's Standard Servicing Manual.
23
(d) Adjacent private developments should be co-ordinated with each other in order to insure continuity of pedestrian circulation.

3.16 AUTOMOBILE CIRCULATION Provide an efficient and rational arterial grid, accommodating increases in traffic while diverting it to the periphery of neighbourhoods. Arterial road/L.R.T. track crossings shall be grade separated, but the arterial road layout should minimize the number of track underpasses required. Vehicular through traffic, with the exception of buses travelling designated routes, should be discouraged within neighbourhoods (see Objective 1).

3.17 COMMUTER PARKING In order to encourage efficient transit usage, and promote the use of the bus system to bring passengers to the stations, permanent commuter parking should not, as a rule, be permitted at the Stadium and Coliseum L.R.T. stations. An exception to this case is the park-and-ride facility operated as a supplementary use to the major events bus parking area located adjacent to the Stadium L.R.T. Station.
The demand for commuter parking should be closely monitored and, if necessary, a parking ban should be established to prevent on-street commuter parking in the adjoining neighbourhoods.
27

PLAN OF LAND USE DISTRICTS
The type and distribution of land uses within the Redevelopment Area is illustrated in Schedule B: Land Use Districts. This land use districting is based upon the N.E.L.R.T.C.S. Council-approved recommendations and responds to the plan objectives outlined in the previous section.
The major policy proposals implemented by this plan are: 1.
Land Use Change From Industrial to Residential: Smaller and relatively marginal industrial uses parallelling the rail right-of-way within the Station Areas have been reclassified to encourage residential development and employee-intensive light industrial type uses.
2.
Development of Transit-oriented Sub-centres: Through the process of selective redistricting in the immediate vicinity of the L.R.T. Stations, a higher density, mixed-use nucleus of development is encouraged.
3.
Re-enforcement of Other Land Uses: Existing low-density residential areas have retained their existing zoning by means of equiva-
lent land use district designations in an effort to preserve neighbourhood units.
28
5.
PLAN OF CIRCULATION SYSTEMS
Schedule C: Circulation Systems does not satisfactorily meet the objectives stated in this Bylaw, but is a statement of the current state. When a transportation plan is further developed for the area, it should be guided by the Transportation objectives stated in this Bylaw.

UTILITIES
Utility services include: (a) water distribution system (b) storm sewers (c) sanitary sewers (d) street lighting, power and telephone The utility services infrastructure in Northeast Edmonton in general, and within the Area Redevelopment Plan boundaries in particular, is sufficient to meet current demand. It is anticipated, however, that major new development will require upgrading in excess of current capacities. In this regard, the extent of improvements necessary will be specifically determined as development proceeds and the developer, in each case, shall assume costs for all new services within or to the site in accordance with plans and specifications to be submitted to and approved by the appropriate City Department. It shall be a condition of all new development that all utility
lines,
including existing existing aerial power distribution lines, shall be placed underground. The provision of a zero increase run-off system is a further condition of new development. To avoid over-loading storm sewers, new development shall be designed to temporarily store extra run-off until it can be handled by the existing system capacity. Specifications for the zero run-off system design shall be submitted to the Water and Sanitation for review and approval.

SPECIAL STUDY AREAS
There are a number of on-going studies within the Redevelopment Plan Bylaw area. Furthermore, there are several planning sub-areas identified in the N.E.L.R.T.C.S. Land Use Plans that require further study. These are briefly outlined below: a.
118th Avenue Commercial Strip Master Plan: A design master plan, to include architectural guidelines, landscaping and parking standards. The objective is to create a cohesive, well-serviced shopping centre with a strong identity to better serve the needs of the trade area.
b.
Stadium Station Demonstration Project: Formulation of a program and development plan for City-owned lands adjacent to the L.R.T. station. The intent is to develop this key site as a mixed use project in accordance with the principles set out in the N.E.L.R.T.C.S. Land Use Plans to help spur further redevelopment in the area.
c.
Parkdale Community Services Plan: Preparation of a community services plan for the inner-city neighbourhood of Parkdale.
d.
Exhibition Grounds Parking Ban: An assessment of the extent of on-street parking ban in the vicinity of the Exhibition Grounds similar to the one in effect in the Commonwealth Stadium Area. Implementation shall be the responsibility of the Engineering Department.
e.
Transportation Systems Monitoring Program: The arterial road system in Northeast Edmonton shall be reviewed by the Transportation System Design Department in conjunction with the Transportation Systems Plan Monitoring Program and within the proposed District Plan System. The adequacy of the existing roads system to absorb additional capacity (as a result of new development) will be assessed, along with specific proposals for road realignments, widenings, closures, as set forth in the N.E.L.R.T.C.S. Land Use Plans.
f.
Task Force on Industrial Zoning in the North East Corridor: A joint municipal/provincial task force will study the future of industrial development in the corridor, and specifically, examine the impact of the meat-packing industries on surrounding residential development. The feasibility of relocating these uses will be reviewed with regard to adequacy of achievable levels of pollution control.
80
g.
Commercial/Industrial Park Design Guidelines: This Study will involve the formulation of specific site planning and architectural design guidelines for auto-oriented commercial and light industrial land use districts. These guidelines, developed in line with established industrial park standards, are intended to assist the Development Officer in the development application review process. They may be implemented through amendment to the Land Use Bylaw general land use regulations or where appropriate, through application of Direct Control Districts or Statutory Plan Overlays to specified areas.
h.
City of Edmonton Parks and Recreation Master Plan (1979 - 1983): With respect to neighbourhoods in the northeast corridor, this plan recommends that priority for land acquisition to ameliorate open space deficiencies should be given to Alberta Avenue, Eastwood, and Parkdale. The Neighbourhood Improvement Plan studies underway in Alberta Avenue and Eastwood will provide recommendations regarding the location of additional park space in these areas.
81
9. REDEVELOPMENT LEVY
The funds attributable to the redevelopment will provide for the acquisition of additional neighbourhood park space in the amount of 1.8 acres per 1,000 population generated by new transit-oriented development. In the Coliseum-Stadium Station Redevelopment Plan Area, it is estimated that 17 acres of extra park space may ultimately be required.
82

Where any building or structure projects beyond the coverage of the building or structure measured at 1 m (3.28 ft.) above grade, the coverage shall then include such projection. Demonstration Project: A pilot building project embodying ememplary planning and design principles. Density: The population, or amount of built space occupying a given site in relation to the area of the site. This may be expressed in terms of people per hectare (P.P.ha.), floor area ratio (F.A.R.), or dwelling units per hectare (U.P. ha.). District: A Section contained in Part II of the Land Use Bylaw which prescribes the use and development of land as depicted on the Land Use District Map comprising Part III of the Land Use Bylaw.
