In areas with detached buildings and rear alleys require two development boxes, a slightly larger one for front principal dwellings and slightly smaller one in the rear for a garage with or without backyard housing. Splitting the site coverage between front and rear buildings reduces building volume and massing and also achieves better building and green space alignment along the block.

Be sure to provide feedback to Proposed Changes to RS Small Scale Residential Infill before Thursday, January 29. https://www.edmonton.ca/residential_neighbourhoods/development-in-your-neighbourhood/infill-changes-feedback

The new RS Zone reduced the Minimum Front Setback to 4.5 m from the front property line to the building and the Minimum Rear Setback to 10 m from the property line to the rear of the building. This allows all the site coverage to be applied to a single development box. Long development walls project well beyond the front of neighbouring homes, including these two recently built infill homes. This creates increased negative impacts of massing and disrupts building alignment.
