ALIGNMENT TO PRIORITIES IN COUNCIL’S STRATEGIC PLAN
City of St. Albert Council Strategic Plan 2018-2021
Strategic Priority #5: Housing: Enhance housing options.
Facilitate an increase in the variety of housing types in St. Albert to respond to market demands and accommodate the diverse needs of residents.
While the front-back combined residential units could be seen as falling within strategic priority #5, enhanced housing options, semi-detached products already exist within the LUB. Therefore, the addition of front/back housing does not increase the variety of housing types available.
Corporate Business Plan 2018-2021
Administration Activity 5.1
Modify Land Use Bylaw to encourage diversity in residential built forms.
Administration Activity 5.3
Work with regional partners to explore the creation of additional housing options to address issues of affordability and accessibility.
