Verona Developments is a residential and commercial builder that has been operating in Edmonton and the surrounding area for the past fourteen years. They have a passion for building homes and communities where value, location and lifestyle come together.

Verona Developments owned a lot zoned RF2 (low density infill) in Canora. Situate was hired in 2022 as the planning consultant to conduct a zoning analysis and manage the rezoning of the site to the RF3 (small scale infill development) zone. The rezoning would allow for the development of four units of row housing with basement and garden suites.

Situate managed the application to the City and conducted neighbour outreach. Outreach included sending custom notices to the neighbours, engaging with the Canora Community League, and creating a project webpage to share information and answer commonly asked questions. 

The rezoning application was unanimously approved by Edmonton City Council on September 13, 2022 (see Item 3.2 in the meeting minutes). As a result, Verona Developments will be able to develop ground-oriented multi-unit housing within the Stony Plain Road Primary Corridor that is close to a future LRT station and provides more housing options in Canora.
