From the 1950s through to the 1970s it was not unusual for City departments to keep scrapbooks as a record of their activities. This series contains 34 scrapbooks of newspaper clippings relating to the business of the City of Edmonton, and specifically the Planning Department.
The Development Appeal Board (DAB) was established in 1966 through the March 1966 Zoning Bylaw (#2135). DAB heard appeals from individuals not satisfied by a decision of administration. Prior to the creation of DAB, these appeals were heard by the Zoning Appeal Board (itself established through the 1961 edition of the Zoning Bylaw #2135).
The minutes capture the final decisions of the Development Appeal Board, including conditions and justifications. Each meeting consisted of an agenda with items based on applicant or appellant names. Each meeting is listed in chronological order as supplied by the creator. This series currently has a single subseries:
- Subseries 1: Development Appeal Board Minutes
