Update | What We Heard | The Baron/Archibald Block

Strathcona Community League received the City of Edmonton’s What We Heard Report for the proposed rezoning at 8207 – 105 Street NW. The online engagement was completed December 7 – 21, 2020 through Engaged Edmonton The report will be posted online as well as shared with City Council if this application proceeds forward to a Public Hearing.

As you have probably noted, it has been almost a year since this online engagement was done. On November 13, 2020, the Provincial Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women issued notice to the property owner of the requirement to conduct a Historic Resource Impact Assessment (HRIA) prior to any changes being made to the property (including demolition). The HRIA has since been produced and provided to the Minister for review.  Conversations are ongoing between the property owner and representatives from the province with regards to the future of the existing building and/or any redevelopment potential on the site.  

Until those conversations conclude with a clear path forward, the rezoning application with the City of Edmonton has been placed on hold.
