Though not mandatory, applicants are strongly encouraged to make an informal submission to EDC for  any proposed development.  The intent of this step is to offer information and guidance in advance of  the formal submission. A letter from the EDC is not provided after an informal presentation, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to take notes at this meeting.

Informal Submission Requirements

The informal submission process allows the EDC to engage with the proponent at an early and conceptual stage of development.

Beginning February 15, 2022, the minimum information required for an informal submission for a development permit application, rezoning application, or public project is

• Site plan
• Building elevations
• Context plan
• Preliminary design narrative referencing the Principles of Urban Design as appropriate
• Site plan
• Landscape plan
• Preliminary elevations, drawings and renderings of the proposal

Additional Information

• For rezoning projects, the proposed text provision should be provided if possible

Applicants will continue to schedule informal submission presentations to EDC by contacting edmontondesigncommittee@edmonton.ca.

Informal submissions are to be provided to EDC Administration in digital format not exceeding 50 MB in size.
