Eau Claire Station
Land Use Redesignation & Area Redevelopment Plan Amendment

Eau Claire Station is a placeholder name that we are using to reference the LRT station that will be located at the Eau Claire Market site.

B&A has submitted planning applications for the Eau Claire Market lands on behalf of The City of Calgary and Eau Claire Market Inc. to accommodate the future Eau Claire Station.

The applications are recommended for approval by administration, and we anticipate a public hearing on May 16, 2023.

Council approved Stage 1 for the Green Line, which includes a new, integrated station on the Eau Claire Market lands.

The new Eau Claire Station changes the redevelopment plans for the site and requires planning applications to accommodate the integrated station

About The Project

Location

The plan area includes Eau Claire Market, located at 111 – 2 Street S.W. and 342 – 2 Avenue SW. The alignment of Stage 1 of the Green Line includes an integrated station at Eau Claire Market. The site will be subdivided into three parcels, owned by the City of Calgary and Eau Claire Development Inc.

Land Use Applications

To reflect the changing use of the site, new planning applications are required to accommodate the future station, while defining the future ownership boundaries of the site. The following applications are required:

  • Land Use Redesignation Application
  • Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) Amendment Application
  • Subdivision Application

The applications propose revisions to the existing Direct Control (DC) District (DC158d2015) and Eau Claire ARP to accommodate the station and a mixed use development that supports primary transit. The application proposes to:

  • Recognize Eau Claire Station within the Direct Control regulation
  • Redesignate the lands which will result in three DC Districts to recognize the new ownership boundaries
  • Maintain key elements of the existing DC including height, density, and sunlight protection areas
  • Provide a framework that supports higher density, mixed use (residential, commercial, office, etc.) development within walking distance of a primary transit station
  • The ARP requires updates to enable broader transit-supportive uses

Next steps

The Land Use Application and Area Redevelopment Plan Amendment applications are proceeding to Calgary Planning Commission. We anticipate a public hearing on May 16, 2023.

We appreciate the feedback we have received throughout the process. Continue to check the website for updated information.
