Edmonton city council wraps infill hearing, introduces some changes
neutralTop Stories
Edmonton’s city council has wrapped up a hearing on infill housing—those smaller, denser homes built in established neighborhoods—and decided to tweak the rules a bit. The big takeaway? New design regulations will require more space on the sides of properties (called "setbacks") and restrict what can be built in side yards. The goal is to make sure there’s enough room for things like stairwells, landings, windows, and pathways, which should improve livability and reduce crowding.
Editor’s Note: Infill housing is a hot topic in cities trying to balance growth with neighborhood character. These changes might ease tensions between developers and residents worried about cramped builds, but they could also make some projects trickier (or pricier) to pull off. For Edmonton, it’s another step in the ongoing dance of making denser housing work without ticking everyone off.
