Planning and Development Report
by D. Jeanne Kimber
Welcome to spring! I
hope you are enjoying the warm weather and what it brings to life again.
The Development
Authority has been working on clearing up some outstanding Development Permit
(DP) applications, some of them dating back to 2024. The following have had the
DP’s released to the applicants, now that the conditions of the permit have
been satisfied. However, only one of these also has a building permit.
·
DP2024-04125
at 3910 Centre B St NE for front and rear semi-detached buildings with suites. The
DP was released on April 14.
·
DP2024-05781
at 3923 and 3927 1 St NE for four buildings.
·
DP2024-09009
for a four-plex with suites at 423 33 Ave NW. The DP was released to the
applicant on May 4.
·
DP2025-00515
for another four-plex with suits at 3827 Centre B St NW.
·
DP2025-01157
for a semi-detached with suites plus a single detached with a suite at 417 36
Ave NW. This lot is only 42 feet wide, hence the fewer number of units and
suites.
·
DP2025-04803
at 201 34 Ave NE for a four-unit rowhouse with suites. There is a Building
Permit application listed dated April 1.
Information about
Building and Demolition permits can be searched at https://data.calgary.ca/Business-and-Economic-Activity/Building-Permit-Application-Report/v2j7-v23g.
·
DP2025-06188
for a four-plex at 120 41 Ave NW was approved on April 23.
·
DP2026-00032
for a four-plex with suites (a four + four) at 424 35 Ave NW was recently
approved but the DP has not been released yet. The same situation applies to
DP2025-07075 for a similar development at 427 35 Ave NW. Next door at 431 35
Ave NW application DP2026-00151 is still under review and open for comment
through the DMAP.
New and amended DP
applications worth noting include:
·
DP2025-02163
for a large 15 units with suites project at 425 – 439 Ave NW. This is on its third
set of revised plans. We have submitted a letter of opposition (again!) based
on non-conformance to the Land Use Bylaw rules, among other things.
·
DP2025-04756
for a multi-residential project involving front and rear rowhouse buildings at
4004 Centre A St NE. This is a revised plan. The original plans included 4008
Centre A St NE. A separate set of plans for 4008 Centre St NE is now covered
under new DP application DP2026-02247. There are fundamental concerns with
these two projects due to the steep slope and the lack of a rear laneway. In
both projects, the amount of onsite parking provided is minimal, even after
considering the proximity to transit on Centre St.
·
DP2026-02328
for an office building renovation at 4103 Centre St NW. This application is not
open for comment.
·
DP2026-01022
is a new application for a multi-residential building with three units with
suites at the southeast corner of Centre St and 38 Ave NE.
·
DP2026-02161
is for a large multi-residential building at 4111 1 St NE containing many small
apartments.
·
DP2025-07314
to allow a four-plex with suites at 311 33 Ave NE is still Pending Decision as
of today’s date.
·
DP2025-07157
at 3827 Centre A ST NE has amended plans.
· DP2026-01956
at 440 32 Ave NW is requesting permission to remove from the approved plans
several new trees and the underground sprinkler system in order to accommodate
the underground stormwater management infrastructure.
