Parkview Neighbourhood

Hi Elizabeth, 

Thank you for your comments. 

Good Morning, 

Within the "Document Library" on the right-hand side of the project webpage, you can find supportive documents from Nautical Land Group. These include the City Council presentation and the Senior Complex Brochure.  

Further information regarding the legislated amendments and site location can be found within the remaining documentation as well. 

Hello Marir, 

Thank you for your comments. 

The proposed row housing is intended to act as a substitute for the previously planned 75-80 single detached dwellings. With the consideration of common traffic themes among row housing units, the City of Lloydminster is expecting a net gain of approximately 110. After an internal review with the City's Engineering, Planning and Transportation Services subject-matter-experts, there is no concern with the capacity of the transportation system at this time. The City of Lloydminster will continue to monitor the ongoing efforts on traffic. 

The City of Lloydminster aims to support inclusive and complete developments which support a wide variety of accessible housing options for all ages. These housing options will provide opportunities for all ages to enjoy the Parkview neighbourhood. 

Currently, the City's Planning team is working to establish a timeline for future park and green space development within the guidelines of the area structure plan. Ultimately, this park space will provide additional amenities to the neighbourhood while continuing existing park spaces to a linear park system.  

Hi Jesse, 

Thank you for your comments and questions. 

Outlined in the 2018 Housing Needs Assessment the need for diverse housing options (including senior housing) is established. The developers (Nautical Land Group (NLG)) have proposed the addition of roughly 200 units which are intended to be developed through several phases. 

Pending City Council's decision to amend the proposed legislation, NLG is proposing to purchase the outlined Parkview site. This location will then be developed and contracted based on their discretion. On February 22, 2021 NLG presented a business plan to City Council which demonstrated their intent to support the local economy through local contractors. 

Hi Kerry, 

The City seeks to promote the development of complete and inclusive neighbourhoods which provide diverse housing options for all family structures and income levels. 

While the proximity to schools is an important consideration for the development of family-oriented residential uses, there is also a need to support the development of a range of senior housing throughout the community. This development provides opportunities for residents seeking transition/downsized housing to remain well connected to family units, trails, green spaces, commercial developments and much more. 

To begin the site selection process, the developer (Nautical Land Group) completed a feasibility study which indicated a number of site requirements. From there, the site requirements were communicated to the City's Land Division team who proposed several locations for their consideration. After the developer's review, the proposed Parkview location was selected. Pending City Council's approval of the land use bylaw, municipal development plan and areas structure plan amendments, the desired site will be sold to NLG for their development. 

Hi Jim, 

Thank you for your questions. 

To begin the process, Nautical Land Group completed a feasibility study to determine their lot requirements. Which included, but was not limited to, a property situated in Alberta with roughly 11 acres of land within walking distance to lifestyle amenities and a senior care facility. The City of Lloydminster assessed these requirements with the available/undeveloped lands in our community and proposed several potential locations. From these, NLG identified the proposed Parkview lands as their preferred location.

In 2018, the City of Lloydminster completed a Housing Needs Assessment Report. Through this report, a number of factors such as age, wealth, accessibility, nationalities, economic state and much more were accessed and housing recommendations were made to support our diverse community. This report is available for your review online at www.lloydminster.ca/reports. 

Hi Shawn, 

Thank you for your questions. 

With any adjustment to the land use bylaw, area structure plans, or municipal development plan, a number of topics/service areas are reviewed and community implications considered with City subject-matter-experts. After the internal review and prior to the decision, recommendations from these considerations are communicated to City Council.

In reference to the above transportation question, the City's Engineering, Planning, and Transportation Services team have completed a thorough review of the potential impacts and do not have concerns with the system's capacity. The proposed row houses will replace the previously planned 75-80 single detached dwellings, resulting in a net gain of approximately 110 units. As a planning principal, vehicle trips generated from individual row houses are generally less than single-detached dwellings. The proposed development will undoubtedly generate additional roadway users from today’s volumes however the roadway infrastructure and right of way width have been established with these anticipated higher volumes. Being considered as a collector roadway, 72 Avenue has the capacity to service the proposed development while maintaining current service levels.  As with all development, the City of Lloydminster will monitor the area after completing the development to ensure the transportation network is operating efficiently and effectively. 

In reference to the above taxation question, this development will not have any implications on the current property owners. The City of Lloydminster assesses taxes based on individual properties. For more information on the City's taxation and assessment processes, please visit lloydminster.ca/Taxes. 

Pending Council's approval of the suggested amendments, Nautical Land Group (NLG) has proposed the initial construction in 2021. Full construction is anticipated to be completed between 3 and 5 years after but is contingent on a number of factors. On February 22, 2021, NLG presented information (found in the document library on the project page), including their intent to provide construction opportunities to local vendors. As a developer, NLG will have full control over the organizations which they contact to complete their project and the pricing of their units. For more information on the specifics of these units, please see the resources in the document library. 

Thank you.
