The Spruce Grove City Council has set a public hearing for April 20, 2026, to discuss proposed zoning changes in the Easton Stage 7 neighbourhood. The hearing, which begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, will examine two potential bylaw amendments aimed at moving forward with the next phase of the residential development.
The first proposal, Bylaw C-1419-25, would create a specific zone for semi-detached housing that allows for alternating front and rear drive access. The second proposal, Bylaw C-1437-26, involves rezoning approximately 1.4 hectares of land currently designated as urban reserve. This would prepare the area for residential use, with most of the land slated for mixed low to medium density housing and the remainder for the new semi-detached housing district.
Easton is a master-planned community located along Highway 16A and Pioneer Road, being developed by Qualico Communities. The 140-acre project is designed to include about 1,000 homes, along with commercial space, parks, and trails. As the city continues to experience significant population growth, this development remains a key part of the local housing expansion.
Residents who wish to share their feedback have several ways to participate in the upcoming hearing. Written submissions can be sent to the City Clerk and must be received by noon on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. Those who prefer to speak during the meeting virtually must pre-register with the City Clerk’s office by noon on the day of the hearing. Members of the public can also attend the hearing in person at 315 Jespersen Avenue without prior registration, though individual comments are limited to five minutes.
Anyone with questions regarding the proposed changes can reach out to the project’s senior planner, David Towle, at 780-962-7601 or by email at [email protected].
