Cy Becker Neighbourhood Structure Plan - City of Edmonton

Detached Residential. Transitional elements shall include
building setbacks, landscape buffers, and variations in
architectural design techniques to minimize building
massing and/or shadow impacts.
Residential development shall be designed to ensure
appropriate separation from the telecommunication
tower.
Proposed residential uses will be designed
with attention to compatibility with
adjacent planned uses.
The Subdivision Officer and the
Development Officer will have regard for
lot and site design, ensuring that
separation distance between the
telecommunication tower and buildings is
maximized.
Rationale: A variety of techniques can be used to provide the appropriate transitioning between Single
and Semi‐Detached units and Low‐Rise/Medium Density Housing units including increased building
setbacks, increased landscaped buffers, the use of building step backs and other design elements.
Such techniques can serve to moderate the use differences between single detached and higher
density developments.
The NSP contains one telecommunication tower. While the Government of Canada is the final
authority in the approval of telecommunication facilities, Industry Canada works with municipalities
and telecommunication carriers in order to ensure that local concerns are addressed. Accordingly, the
City of Edmonton will facilitate and coordinate the siting and appearance of telecommunication
facilities. While the provision of cellular service is a benefit to nearby landowners and users,
telecommunication facilities should be considerate of surrounding land uses and designed accordingly
Technical Summary:
No specific technical requirements were identified.
3.2.7 Parks and Open Space
The Cy Becker NSP provides for one Urban Village Park, two Pocket Parks and a Natural Area, which are
linked to other open spaces (i.e. two stormwater management facilities) by a shared‐use path. An
integrated open space system is proposed for the Cy Becker neighbourhood, as shown in Figure 8.0 –
Pedestrian Network. The area attributed to Park and Open Space is shown in Table 5 – Land Use and
Population Statistics.
Objective (17). Accommodate City of Edmonton requirements for park sites within the
neighbourhood.
NSP Policy Implementation
The NSP shall follow the guidelines for the hierarchy and
distribution of park spaces as prescribed in the Urban
Parks Management Plan (UPMP).
The developer shall provide Municipal Reserve as land,
cash in lieu of land, or a combination thereof of up to 10%
of the gross developable area.
Servicing shall be provided within roadways fronting
The Urban Village Park, Pocket Parks,
Natural Area, greenway and open spaces
are conceptually illustrated in Figure 7.0 –
Land Use Concept.
The Subdivision Authority shall determine
the MR owing for the Cy Becker NSP, and
the areas dedicated as MR shall be
confirmed by legal survey at the time of
Cy Becker NSP Office Consolidation 31
