Riverbend TOD Land Use Redesignation and Outline Plan
About the Project
The City is proposing to redevelop approximately 15 acres of brownfield land in east Riverbend to accommodate future transit-oriented development.
The proposal is to subdivide the site into four or five development sites to accommodate a variety of low and medium profile residential housing options, along with a significant open space allotment.
The development proposal is being timed with the future Green Line LRT station in the Community of South Hill, with the development being only 600m from the future train station.
The proposal is estimated to include 500-600 units within 2-3 storey grade-oriented townhouses, and 4-6 storey multi-residential buildings.
Proposed road network
The road network is expected to be multi-modal with connection points to Riverbend and 24 ST SE.
To accommodate transit, there is a desire to connect Riverstone Road SE to the proposed redevelopment. Such a connection would shorten the distance and time for residents of Riverbend to connect to the future South Hill transit station. Shorter travel distances and times translate to improved service and lower costs.
Engagement
Community outreach is ongoing as the proposal is further refined, after which the file is anticipated to make its way through Calgary Planning Commission (calgary.ca/cpc) and Council (public hearing).
Initial details about the application were shared at a Public Information Session held November 2022 at the Riverbend Community Association.
Targeted engagement was conducted with residents of Riverstone Rd SE in summer 2023.
Current status
On Thursday, May 23, 2024, the Calgary Planning Commission voted to open Riverstone RD SE to all modes of traffic, contrary to the transit-only proposal before them, despite support from the file review team for the transit-only approach.
Next steps
The next step in the process is a Public Hearing scheduled for Tuesday, July 16, 2024. To stay informed please sign up for project updates.
