Amendment to the River Valley Area Redevelopment Plant (RVARP) to update the position of the Safe Development Setback Line in relation to the developable area for Riverstone Phases 18 and 19.

This update to the Safe Development Setback Line, shown on three maps in the RVARP, is required in order for the Land Use Bylaw Amendment proposed under Bylaw 6472 to occur. 

Proposal

Amendment to Land Use Bylaw 6300 to rezone the parcel listed above within the Agnes Davison neighbourhood. The purpose of the proposed Bylaw 6485 is to allow the development of a four-unit townhouse, which is not allowed in the current R-L zoning. The Bylaw 6485 regulates parking, density, building height and building setbacks. 

The bylaw will change the parcel from Valley (V); Future Urban Development (FUD); and Low Density Residential (R-L) to Low Density Residential (R-L); Park and Recreation (P-R); and Valley (V). This is to ensure the parcel is zoned appropriately for development with areas below the Safe Development Setback Line zones so that they cannot be developed.

Highlights from the March 25, 2025, meeting of Lethbridge City Council.

A big change is coming to the traffic lights at the busy intersection of 13 Street North and 5 Avenue North.

The City is introducing alternating left turn signals along 13 Street North. Currently, only northbound traffic has a left turn signal.

As the warmer spring weather invites outdoor activities, it’s the perfect time to connect with your neighbourhood and think about how you’d like to see it grow in the future! 

Layers in the morning and windows down in the afternoon – welcome to March and spring in Lethbridge. The first topic I want to address this month is the wonderful recent news from the Lethbridge Police Service that crime in our city decreased by 16 per cent in 2024. 

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a residential structure fire at the 600 block of 8 Street South at 4:46 a.m. on Monday, March 10. 

Tree pruning will impact traffic in north Lethbridge this week.

City Council has approved a move on Tuesday, that saves more than $1.4 million in loan interest and initiates next steps in meeting the new provincially mandated recycling regulations.
