Alternatives and Implications Considered
If Council does not wish to support the recommendation of the April 7, 2015
continuation of the public hearing, the following alternative could be considered:
Council could consider continuing the public hearing on the IDP and MDP
amendments on April 20, 2015. However, a delay in a decision on the
proposed IDP and MDP amendments impacts proposed amendments to the
Erin Ridge North Area Structure Plan (ASP) and the Land Use Bylaw (LUB)
that the applicant is bringing to Council in the second quarter of 2015.
Strategic Connections
a) Council’s Strategic Outcomes and Priorities
• CULTIVATE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY: A diversified, robust, and resilient
economic foundation to support growth and community service delivery.
• CULTIVATE EXCELLENCE IN GOVERNMENT: A responsive, accountable
government that delivers value to the community.
• CULTIVATE A SAFE, HEALTHY, AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY: A
community that provides opportunities for everyone to realize their potential
in a thinking, caring, and connected way.
Amendment to the IDP and MDP is the first step in changing the land use on the
King of Kings Lutheran Church site from institutional to commercial and residential.
This then gives opportunity to amend the Erin Ridge North ASP and the Land Use
Bylaw. The interest of the developer is to develop the site with a small scale
commercial node, multiple family dwelling units, low density dwelling units, and a
stormwater management facility to support development.
b) Long Term Plans
• Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP).
• Municipal Development Plan (MDP).
c) Corporate Objectives (See Corporate Business Plan)
• Ensure our customers are very satisfied.
d) Council Policies
• Not applicable.
e) Other Plans or Initiatives
• Not applicable.

Plan (IDP) and the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) for King of Kings Lutheran

in the IDP and MDP, and the amendments are to change the land use designation

Council Direction
Both the IDP and MDP require a public hearing; the MDP requires referral to the
Capital Region Board (CRB). Once there is a decision from the CRB, Council’s
decision as per the requirements in the Municipal Government Act (MGA) can
occur.
Policies 17.1 and 17.3 in the Municipal Development Plan require conformance of
the MDP with both the IDP and Area Structure Plans (ASPs).
Background and Discussion

ISL Engineering and Land Services on behalf of Landrex submitted applications to
amend the IDP and MDP for the King of Kings Lutheran Church site located at the
corner of St. Albert Trail and Coal Mine Road. If approved, the applicant will need
to come forward with further applications for amendments to the Erin Ridge North
Area Structure Plan (ASP) and the Land Use Bylaw (LUB). The applications are
being made to facilitate proposed development on the site and are required to
ensure the IDP, MDP, ASP, and LUB are consistent.

The size of the overall site is 9.12 hectares± (22.54 acres±). The municipal
address is 2, 54211 Range Road 253, and the legal description is Plan 942 3702,
Lot C. The landowner is Lutheran Church-Canada, the Alberta-British Columbia
District. They are in the process of selling the majority of their land to Landrex for
development (Attachment 3, Location Map).

The Church proposes to keep their building in the current location with sufficient
parking. Landrex would like to develop the site with commercial adjacent to
St. Albert Trail and residential for the remainder of the site. Therefore, the church
site would be incorporated into the overall development. The amendments are to
change the land use designation from institutional to commercial and residential. A
portion of the Frontier Honda site at 875 St. Albert Trail has institutional land use
designation; therefore, the map changes in the IDP and MDP will also cover this
area to be commercial land use designation (Attachment 4, Aerial Map).
Bylaw 10/2015 – Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) Amendment
Sturgeon County repealed the Intermunicipal Development Plan through Bylaw
1220/10; however, the City of St. Albert retained Bylaw 7/2001. Map 4 and Map 10
of the IDP designate the church and Frontier Honda as institutional. The
amendment changes the designation for the church site from institutional to
corridor commercial and urban residential land use designations. The Frontier
Honda site will change to corridor commercial. No other changes are required to
the IDP document.

Policy 2.8 of the IDP, Public and Institutional Uses, indicates that institutional uses
be easily accessible to mitigate negative impacts on adjacent land uses in terms of
increased traffic and parking. Potential parking and access impacts have been
raised with the Church and Landrex, and the parcel size retained for the church
site needs to have sufficient parking and be easily accessible.
TE
D
Bylaw 11/2015 – Municipal Development Plan (MDP) Amendment
Map 2 of the MDP designates the church site as institutional. The proposed
change is from institutional to commercial and residential land use designations.
The area of commercial is approximately 3.57 hectares± (8.8 acres±) or 39% of the
site, and the residential is 5.53 hectares± (13.67 acres±) or 61% of the site. These
areas do not account for roads or the stormwater management facility needed to
support the development (Attachment 5, Land Portions).

Policy 14.3 of the MDP, Places of Religious Assembly, identifies that religious
assembly should be located, where possible, on corner sites along collector
roadways and arterial roadways. The church site, when the area is developed, will
not be a corner lot. Landrex has been advised that the church site will require
legal and physical access to the site from either Coal Mine Road or Ebony Way
extension, and not through the parking lot of the commercial site.
Y

Small church sites are not shown in the IDP or the MDP. The church site will be
within the IDP’s corridor commercial land use designation and within the MDP
commercial land use designation.

Alternatives and Implications Considered
If Council does not wish to support the recommendation, then redevelopment of
the majority of the church site will be limited to institutional uses. If Council wishes
different land use designations or portions of land use designations, then
Administration will need clarification from Council regarding what they would
support for a change in land use designations.
