Open House for Land Use Bylaw amendment application

September 9, 2010

(Red Deer, Alberta) – The City of Red Deer is hosting an Open House to attain public feedback about a Land Use Bylaw amendment application for the future use of the current development at 4419 55 Street.

Currently, the site is zoned R1- Residential (low density), with an exception that allows a photography studio.

The proposed amendment would leave the site zoned as R1, but would expand the site exception to include more land uses. Site exceptions are used to allow additional uses on a parcel of land that do not fit a particular land use district. In this case, uses allowed by the R1 district are too limited, while changing it to a commercial land use district would make the allowable uses too broad.

Residents are encouraged to attend the Open House to discuss the proposed amendment with planning staff.

Date:           Tuesday, September 14
Time:          6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Location:    Traptow Photography 
                   4419 55 Street, Red Deer, AB
