This is lowering property values if not done with consideration of the streets that are allowing an 8plex in between 2 single family homes. Parking has already been an issue. The multi family dwellings should be built on bus routes and major streets and thorough ways, not in the midst of a street that pays higher taxes and as we have paid for street light improvements to beautify their street and improve property values, a developer can put what ever they want, with 0 architectural guidelines

Because I don’t think that our Tax paying money is going to, it should be throughout the city. These infills in the city are not looking out for the best interest of the current owners surrounding the home. They need to start building them as we do not need any more density in the mature areas. It’s ruining landscape of these beautiful communities. It’s blocking sunlight from surrounding homes, bringing them renters here it is the majority of home owners. The builders are not being responsible

It is our homes and destruction of our community is not an option. We bought in this community for the reason of a home not for transients

Preserve sufficient sunlight and fresh air reaching surrounding properties/dwellings. What happened to green spaces/trees?!? Neighbourhoods should have a say regarding development in their own neighbourhood - meaningful community consultation. Property value - often negatively impacted by infills, particularly when greater than 2 stories. Parking - there should be a minimum # of stalls, shouldn’t negatively impact surrounding properties/community league parking.

I support ethical infill. What we are facing in Edmonton is an unethical predatory takeover of our neighborhoods with massive poorly constructed multiplexes.

Totally understand they need density but they are destroying neighbourhood. Glad to help fighting to revisit the bylaw.

This bylaws most be reversed in so many ways from rethinking number of units allowed in infills to reviewing what can blindly be put in a corner lot.
Homeowners are the ones who make the sacrifice.

8-plex units create massive logistical issues in their neighborhoods. Parking, garbage, blocking views etc. maybe near major transit hubs, but should be carefully controlled.

This needs to be done - the City’s current approach disregards a lot of people’s rights and is more destructive than constructive when it comes to renewing mature neighborhoods.

It is totally unacceptable what our city councilors allowed to happen in the Crestwood neighbourhood, and I'm sure several other mature established communities. To allow numerous 6 & 8 plex developments within a 2 block stretch on 95 Ave, and four 4 plex buildings on an inside corner bend lot with no garages was totally irresponsible. Where do all those residents park, how do they put their garbage containers 1 metre apart without being on their neighbours property. No rational to this.

I am an architect, originally from Amsterdam. I am all for density, but with overarching detailed quality control in place. The current zoning invites density with hardly any quality control in place. It's a recipe for disaster, and now well functioning neighbourhoods will be negatively affected. You cannot leave this to developers and builders. There primary concern is profit. Not quality. Thriving cities treat their built environment like a precious recourse. Not some free for all!
