The first readings of Clearview North NASP amendment and the Bower Woods NASP were severed at the beginning of the meeting, which means they needed to be debated individually by council. However, the first readings of the Capstone Area Redevelopment Plan and Timber Ridge Rezoning were passed right away.

A public hearing was scheduled for all of them and the summary was included in the City of Red Deer’s council recap.

Clearview North NASP Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment

• Council passed first reading of bylaws zoning bylaw 3357/J-2025 and bylaw 3217/C-2025 to rezone 3523 67 Street from A-1 Future Urban Development Zone to R-H Residential High-Density Zone and R-N Residential Narrow Lot Zone.
• To facilitate this zoning change an amendment to the Clearview North Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan is also required as it currently does not contemplate R-N zoning for these lands.
• A public hearing is scheduled for September 2, 2025; information on how to participate will be available in the coming days at reddeer.ca/publichearings.

Bower Wood NASP

• Council passed first reading of bylaw 3217/D-2025 to adopt the proposed Bower Woods Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) in southeast Red Deer. The plan outlines the development of approximately 63.28 hectares (156.35 acres) of land into a new residential neighbourhood named Bower Woods.
• A public hearing is scheduled for September 2, 2025.

Zoning Bylaw Amendment and Capstone Area Redevelopment Plan (5402 47 Street)

• Council passed first reading of Capstone ARP amendment bylaw 3574/B-2025 and zoning bylaw 3357/K-2025 to allow a drive through at 5402 47 Street as a discretionary use accessory to a new financial institution.
• This property is the Carnival Cinemas site located on the corner of Taylor Drive and 47 Street. Recently, this site was rezoned from CAP-PR (Primary Residential) to CAP-TD (Taylor Drive).
• A Public Hearing will occur on September 2, 2025.

Zoning Bylaw Amendment and Timber Ridge Rezoning

• Council passed first reading of a rezoning application for approximately 3.8 hectares of undeveloped land in the Timber Ridge neighbourhood from Future Urban Development Zone (A-1) to Residential Low Density (R-L), Residential Narrow Lot (R-N), Residential Duplex (R-D), and Parks and Recreation (P-1) to enable subdivision and development of Phase 6C. The proposed rezonings align with the approved Timber Ridge Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP).
• A public hearing will occur on September 15, 2025.
