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.

Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to have the Mayor’s Office again declare April 7 as Green Shirt Day. Mayor Hyggen says he wants to keep bringing this item to Council annually, rather than as a one-time declaration, to continually highlight Logan’s impact and the importance of talking to your family about becoming an organ donor.

A planned power outage is set to take place Tuesday, March 25, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. along Westside Drive West to allow for power line upgrades. Approximately 90 properties will be without power during this time. 

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! 

The 2025 Runner’s Soul Moonlight Run is set to take place Saturday, March 22. 

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.
