BN6307 – 6307 35 AV NW (LOC2023-0349)
Project Update (May 2024)
The project team would like to thank everyone who provided comments and feedback on BN6307 (LOC2023-0349) at 6307 35 AV NW. Outreach on this land use change proposal has now concluded, though any feedback received after this time will still be provided response. An Applicant-Led Outreach Summary highlighting outreach strategies, commonly heard feedback themes, and project team responses is published for review on the website. The application will proceed to Public Hearing of Council on June 4, 2024 for a decision on the proposed Land Use Redesignation.
Proposed Land Use Change
On behalf of EC Living, CivicWorks has made a Land Use Redesignation (rezoning, LOC2023-0349) application to transition the property at 6307 35 AV NW from the existing Residential - Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG) District to the Housing - Grade-Oriented (H-GO) District. The proposed land use change and development vision will realize new and much needed ‘Missing Middle’ rental housing options in Bowness. EC Living will develop the proposed project using the Canada Housing & Mortgage Corporation’s Rental Construction Financing Program, which enables the delivery of well-located, high quality, and affordable rental housing options for Canadians of all ages, wages and stages.
Why Here?
The H-GO District is only appropriate in inner city areas along higher order streets or close to Activity Centres, Main Streets and frequent transit service, as well as within the specific policy boundaries of contemporary Local Area Plans. The specific bylaw location criteria for the H-GO District, including criteria met by the project site, are listed below:
An area within an approved Local Area Plan (eg. North Hill Communities Local Area Plan) identified as a "Neighbourhood Connector" or “Neighbourhood Flex” Urban Form; or
If not within an approved Local Area Plan, an area within the “Centre City” or “Inner City” as identified in the Municipal Development Plan Urban Structure Map, that is also within one or more of the following:
(a) 200m of a Main Street or Activity Centre
(b) 600m of an existing or capital-funded LRT station;
(c) 400m of an existing or capital-funded BRT station; or
(d) 200m of a roadway that hosts Primary Transit Service.

The project site is located within the boundary of the Bowness Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP, 2021) and falls within the "Neighbourhood Limited" and "Main Street Developed Area Guidebook" policy areas, which allows for low to medium density rowhouse dwellings up to three storeys and encourages appropriate redevelopment close to the Bowness RD NW Neighbourhood Main Street. A minor map-based Local Area Plan Amendment from “Neighbourhood Limited” to “Neighbourhood Low-Rise” will be required to allow for the three storey stacked townhouse concept.
