Chiles family disappointed with rezoning defeat by city council
A rezoning application was voted down by Red Deer city council Tuesday night on first reading, leaving the applicant very unsatisfied.
Chiles Development Corp. was looking for the rezoning of a six-acre property within the North of 11A Major Area Structure Plan.
Currently zoned for industrial use, the company’s hope was to turn it into country residential lots, but City staff say a number of factors working against the proposal make it not feasible.
“Essentially we felt that land, based on the application, was just not suitable for [residential] development. It would create an isolated residential area for six [one-acre] lots that is removed from any other residential area,” says Orlando Toews, Senior Planner for The City of Red Deer.
