Small piece of land housing O-NET building rezoned

OLDS — Olds council has rezoned a chunk of land along 53^rd Street that houses a small O-NET building and some big satellite dishes.  

Council made that decision during its Nov. 12 meeting, changing that piece from recreational facility to central commercial.

The civic address of the land is 5226 53 St.

Municipal land use planner Kyle Sloan told council that the parcel in question was part of a larger rectangular piece owned by the Town that houses the Sportsplex and the library.

That chunk of land is bordered by 51^st Avenue, 52^nd Street and 53^rd Street.

“The proposed rezoning to central commercial (C1) more accurately aligns with the current use of the site and allows for commercial and office use,” a town document on the matter said.
