Amendment to Black Stone Area Structure Plan – Bylaw No. 1247-2026
Bylaw No. 1247-2026 will amend the Black Stone Area Structure Plan (ASP), which outlines the land use, transportation and servicing plans for the NW ¼ Section 22-49-25-W4, being the Black Stone neighbourhood. The amendment to the Black Stone ASP proposed under Bylaw No. 1247-2026 in general terms includes:
- Reducing the commercial area from 4.08 hectares (ha) to 3.00 ha;
- Increasing the medium density residential area from 1.98 ha to 3.69 ha;
- Removing a north-south collector road connection. Due to the proposed removal, low density residential development will increase slightly be a total of 0.17 hectares to fill in the gap created by removing the road; and
- A minor reconfiguration of park space.
In balance for the reduced commercial, the developer is looking at a future amendment to their Brightwell Area Structure Plan (PT NE 21 49 25 W4 and privately-owned 3300 Grant MacEwan Blvd) which would introduce a commercial site directly west of the Black Stone commercial area. This will create the opportunity for a more intentional commercial-based node around the southern-most intersection between Black Stone and Brightwell, which will be identified as such through a Municipal Development Plan (MDP) amendment. The increased medium-density residential will create greater opportunities for stacked townhouses and low-rise apartments (2-4 storeys). This design option will ensure all relevant functions, such as snow storage, garbage, and parking are addressed within the site, ensuring that there is minimal impact on adjacent low density residential areas. The low-density areas will continue to contain the same uses as noted in the approved plan, being single detached dwellings, duplexes, and fee simple townhouses.
