The Edmonton District Planning Commission was established in 1950 to manage urban growth in the Edmonton area. It was one of several district planning commissions established in the province that year. Composed of representatives from multiple municipalities around Edmonton, the Commission proposed plans to local and provincial governments and conducted studies and reports. The name was changed in August 1963 to the Edmonton Regional Planning Commission. In 1982, they became the Edmonton Regional Metropolitan Planning Commission and focused on a smaller, more centralized area. In 1994, the Commission was dissolved and the newly established Capital Region Forum assumed responsibility for planning in the Edmonton district.

The records in this series were kept for reference by the City of Edmonton, however the City was not the office of primary responsibility.

The Interim Development Bylaw (Bylaw 1339) was passed in 1950. It was created to guide and regulate development in Edmonton until a General Plan and new zoning bylaw could be adopted. The bylaw created the Interim Development Appeal Board, which took appeals from any decision made by the Interim Development Officer, including related to zoning. The Board had seven members appointed by Council, and included a City Alderman, a member of the Alberta Association of Architects, a member of the Alberta Land Surveyors Association, a member of the Edmonton Real Estate Association, a member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Alberta, a member of the Law Society of Alberta, and a member at large. The Board endeavored to make decisions to best promote orderly, economical, and convenient development in conformity with the basic principles of the evolving General Plan. The Appeal Board could refer cases to the Architectural Panel or Technical Planning Board when more information was required, and decisions of the Board could be appealed further to the Provincial Planning Advisory Board.
