Current bylaw regarding infill is for the benefit of developers to the detriment of the quality of life in Edmonton. More local input and control!

It used to be a quiet , safe and pleasant community in our neighborhood, but sadly, it no longer is. You used to know your neighbors well, but now the next house is built to 4 units, and rented out for second floor (3 units) and basement (1 unit) separately. Worst of all, another additional unit will be built by tearing down its rear garage. This is now despicably a money- making business at the expense of all single house owners. It totally and ignorantly neglects the risk of fire hazards in our local community. Unjustifiably, it drastically depreciates the value of our single house in our neighborhoods. This idiotic and inconsiderate by-law must be abrogated immediately.

This is long over due. Our oldest neighborhoods were not meant for so many people and cars
Brings our property value down having warehouse type housing in the neighborhood.
Keep them to the busy roads and away from quiet residential

What a horrible zoning by law. The city counsellors that can concocted this should be removed from office.

How is it progress to replace a single family home that rented for $2000/mo with 8 mini-suites renting for $2400/mo? Stop throwing families under the bus to appease developers' profits.

Totally agree that the new zoning is not conducive to homeowners, but is only for the benefit of developers! Seems like council is purposely trying to ruin neighborhoods!!

Any development application wanting to more than triple existing density on any given lot must be looked at in the context of the block it’s on at the very least. Are the streets narrow? Is it a cul-de-sac? Is traffic and parking already challenged? Can the infrastructure handle the increase? Do the neighbours have solar panels that will be rendered useless?
No one wants to buy into a neighborhood where anything at all could replace the house next door. At least in the suburbs you know how it will be for the foreseeable future.
Any rewriting needs to also include minimal “green” requirements like solar panels.

The new zoning bylaw is an all out assault on established mature neighborhoods. It must be changed before more violence is committed against the residents.

One of the worst decisions ever. Ruining our mature neighborhoods. Needs to be limits.

The zoning/densification policies are destroying the culture of our community. Increased traffic and a more transient population due to rentals is driving up crime. More garbage. Tax revenue goes up and services delivered to communities go down each year. The plan isn’t working at all.
