Zoning Appeal Board
CA EDM RG-17-17.14 · Series · 1936 - 1946
Part of City of Edmonton. Planning Department fonds

While zoning appeals were first mentioned in 1931 (Bylaw 8-1931), it wasn’t until 1933 that the Zoning Appeal Board was formally established through Zoning Bylaw 26-1933. The Board consisted of five members of the public, appointed by Council, including a member of the Alberta Architects Association, a member of the Alberta Land Surveyors Association, and a member of the Edmonton Real Estate Association. The Board heard appeals from zoning decisions made by the Building Inspector. The Board was governed by the Zoning Bylaw, but in certain circumstances could make recommendations to Council for alterations to zoning boundaries. The Zoning Appeal Board operated until 1950, when the Interim Development Bylaw (Bylaw 1339) was created, which established the Interim Development Appeal Board, which in turn took appeals from any decision made by the Interim Development Officer, including issues of zoning.

Subdivision Files
CA EDM RG-17-17.12 · Series · 1910 - 1990, predominant 1949 - 1990
Part of City of Edmonton. Planning Department fonds

This series contains subdivision files created by the City when land was subdivided. The files typically include applications, correspondence, and subdivision plans. The original filing systems have been retained. Subdivision files were typically identified by "year-X-number" and subdivision name.

Boxes 1-12
Between 1960 and 1965 subdivision files were arranged by year, then alphabetically by subdivision name.

Boxes 13-31
Between 1966 and 1974 subdivision files were arranged by year in zones (Yellow, White, Red, Green, and Blue).

Boxes 31-189
By the mid-1970s the subdivision files were arranged numerically by file number.

Boxes 190-196
At some point subdivision plans from 1973 to 1980 were removed from the files and stored them separately.

Boxes 197-201
These boxes contain subdivision files which had been removed from the original filing system and filed separately, alphabetically.

Boxes 201-243
These boxes contain subdivision files created by separate municipalities prior to the land being annexed by the City of Edmonton. These files were then transferred to the City for use by planners. The files are described using the Alberta Township Survey System and were generally arranged by the originating municipality.

Boxes 244-297
These boxes contain replot files, created when previously subdivided land had to be resubdivided by the City.

Boxes 298-315
These boxes contain a subdivision file index card reference system created by the department to keep track of subdivision applications and outcomes between ca. 1959 and ca. 1977. While much of the information is duplicated in the subdivision files, there are instances where the subdivision file has been lost and the index cards are the only source of information.
