Redevelopment Process
Main page content begins here
Edmonton’s new Zoning Bylaw takes direction from The City Plan. The bylaw, implemented on January 1, 2024, modernized our planning rules to allow for a greater variety of housing, such as single-detached homes, duplexes, row houses, backyard homes, multi-unit homes, in all neighbourhoods so that people have access to homes that meet their needs at price points they can afford.
Residents in existing areas are seeing new kinds of housing transform their neighbourhoods.
We know this growth means change and that many residents have questions about the development process.
The City is responsible for ensuring that developments comply with applicable City requirements and are constructed in accordance with city bylaws, applicable minimum safety standards and the issued permits.
