The purpose of this Overlay is to identify areas within the Blatchford Neighbourhood that require environmental testing and potential remediation due to the former City Centre Airport operations, so that prior to development approval a site is suitable for its intended use.
This Overlay applies to lands included within the Blatchford Environmental Overlay boundary as shown in Appendix II.
Any areas that are included as part of a land development application, and are identified on the Environmental Overlay Map as areas requiring environmental testing and potential remediation, are subject to remediation measures where necessary, as identified through an Environmental Site Assessment process to the satisfaction of the City of Edmonton’s Environmental and Energy Coordination Unit.
Completion of any remediation measures for the subject lands, to the satisfaction of the City of Edmonton’s Environmental and Energy Coordination Unit, is required as:
a condition of subdivision approval, to be completed prior to endorsement of the final plan; or
a condition of Development Permit approval, prior to the release of drawings for Building Permit review whichever occurs first.
