Reminder | Ritchie Mill | Proposed Land Use Changes
The source of the text below: https://www.edmonton.ca/residential_neighbourhoods/neighbourhoods/strathcona-planning-applications.aspx
A planning application (map) has been received for properties at 10171 Saskatchewan Drive NW, 10318 83 Avenue NW and 8403 104 Street NW.
The application proposes to rezone the properties from an existing Direct Development Control Provision (DC1) to a revised Direct Development Control Provision (DC1).
The proposed new DC1 Provision would continue to retain the Ritchie Mill, at 10171 Saskatchewan Drive NW, as a municipally and provincially designated historic resource and commercial building, but allow an addition to be built off the north facade of the building. The addition would be 15 metres tall, matching the height of the main eavestrough line of the existing Ritchie Mill. The addition would add approximately 570 square metres of commercial floor area to the building, for a new total of approximately 2,820 square metres.
The existing Historical Institutional DC1 Provision applies to the Ritchie Mill, and also to the nearby Strathcona Fire Hall No. 1, at 10318 83 Avenue NW, and the Knox Metropolitan Church, at 8403 103 Street NW. In order for the Ritchie Mill to have its own zoning, the other sites need to also be rezoned to a new Historical Institutional DC1 Provision that does not include the Ritchie Mill. No changes to the other sites are proposed by this application.
An amendment to the Strathcona Area Redevelopment Plan is also proposed, as the existing DC1 Provision is embedded within it. The proposed amendment would remove the zoning from being embedded in the plan, but there are no proposed amendments to the policies or direction of the plan.
