Parkland CLASS Development Proposal

​

The Waskasoo Community Association received notice from the City of Red Deer Inspections and Licensing Department that Parkland CLASS has resubmitted their development proposal for a 13,000 square foot Administration building, 2400 square foot maintenance shop, and associated parking and other structures. The development is to be located on Parkland’s lot directly east of Parkland School (Lot 4 of what used to be the Riverglen School yard). See the revised plans at the link below.

​

Inspections and Licensing will NOT be sending out invitations to comment on this revised application. However, if you have comments or concerns, we encourage you to voice them in writing to Martin Kvapil at Martin.Kvapil@reddeer.ca. Any letters received will be forwarded to MPC to be included in the Development Authority’s decision-making process. As of October 4, 2016, the City has received 11 letters.

​

There is no word on when this development application will go before MPC, but we will notify members via email and facebook when the date is announced. 

​

The WCA Board is in the process of composing our response to this re-application and will share it with the Waskasoo community when it is completed. 

​

NOTE:

Because the land is zoned Public Service (PS) and the development is a Discretionary Use within the PS District, the application will be subject to review by the Development Authority (the Municipal Planning Commission). Within the Land Use Bylaws, Section 7.4.3 states that “Within the PS Public Service District the site plan, the relationship between buildings, structures and open space, the architectural treatment of buildings, the provision and architecture of landscaped open space, and the parking layout, shall be subject to approval by the Development Authority.” 

​

As a redevelopment in an existing neighbourhood, the application is also considered discretionary. Section 7.14.4 of the Land Use Bylaws states: “The Development Authority shall have the authority to impose conditions that require the Redevelopment to conform to a higher standard than required by the applicable regulations, including design elements contained within a Character Statement, for any Redevelopment” (7.14.5).
