* The burden upon our the already aging infrastructure for 16 families replace one is very concerning. 16-32 individuals showering, laundry. Consider electrical for A/C mid-summer or heating mid-winter
* Street congestion and safety
An 8-plex property has no garage for 16 families. Where will the 16-32 vehicles owned by these families be parked? Consider rush hour where vehicles must wait at the end of a street because there is only one lane flow because cars are parked, solid on both sides. It is already difficult, especially in winter

This zoning bylaw is a developer free-for-all, that is destroying neighborhood character, without any urban planning for thought.

This poorly thought out policy will destroy the character of many residential neighborhoods. The only group to benefit will be property developers.

Strongly disagree with the city's current approach to urban growth. Totally destroying the character of our neighbour.

Changing the bylaws about land zoning should go to referendum vote do each citizen has their say in this decision as it affects us so greatly

The city should hold a referendum on decisions like this, every hard working tax payer should have their input on decisions that affect their property!

A standard was established for a good reason, as they fall, so does our city. You are ruining great neighborhoods by complying the whims of developers. Disgusting, thanks for putting the citizens first.

Why not force the oldest areas of Edmonton to build single family homes for entry level buyers. Some of these areas need a refresh so they don't become total slums. These areas also could help refresh downtown which at the moment is run by homeless people with "issues" leaving garbage and smashed business windows. In addition mandatory off street parking should be reinstated. With additional infill people and no off street parking you are not helping emergency vehicles at all.

This is a huge concern. These zoning bylaws need to seriously be reconsidered as its already getting out of hand.

I fully agree. Developers have too much and little to no restrictions. Change is good but to what cost to the neighbourhoods you are plowing through?

It is wrong for the city to allow building of duplexes, and other dense buildings when people bought property in areas that were designed and sold as single family developments only. I have a neighbour who put in a basement suite during COVID without permits and letting the neighbours know and he is reaping the profit while our property value decreased because of this. It is terrible management at the city level.

They building a six Plex witch has the potential to become a eight Plex next door to me. This will bring down the value of my property and even one else in the neighborhood. For starters we were not informed in any way that was going to happen.
