Nothing the City publishes about this district refuses the design. That is emphatically not the same as land here working: the questions below that stay open are answered by the parcel, the survey and the utility, never by the zone code.
Checked against the design on this page
800 sqft floor area · 800 sqft footprint · 18.0 ft tall · one storey
Those four numbers come from your design, not from the City. Change them in the Design fit controls above and this answer changes with them.
What the City’s property register says
Lot areas the City of Edmonton records in its property assessment register, summarised by zoning district. A property register records who owns what. It never records what is being sold, and no figure here describes any one property.
Across 4,738 RM properties the City records a median lot area of 563 m2 (6,062 sq ft), with half of them between 375 m2 (4,032 sq ft) and 1,314 m2 (14,142 sq ft). That is what lots in this district tend to be, not the size of any one of them.

Every figure above is an AREA. The register publishes no frontage and no depth, so it cannot say how wide a lot is or how far back it runs, and a quantile over thousands of properties is not a statement about the one you are standing on.
The City states the coverage of these records as 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31 and refreshes them weekly; the rows were last updated 2026-08-10. A recent subdivision, rezoning, or new build may not be in them yet.
Ask the City about one address
Needs the networkPressing this sends the house number and street name you typed to data.edmonton.ca, the City of Edmonton's open data portal, and asks it for the lot area it records there. Nothing else about you goes with it, nothing is sent until you press it, and you can type the area yourself instead.
This button is the only thing on this page that uses the network. The district rules, the district figures above and your own lot below are baked into Aura and run in your browser, so if the City does not answer, nothing else here stops working.

Your own lot
A property register records who owns what. It never records what is being sold.
A district governs every parcel inside it and knows nothing about the one you are standing on, which is why six of the seven questions above stay open. State your lot here and the buildable-envelope question is re-answered against your rectangle. Aura can look up only the City-recorded lot area, and only when you press the lookup button above. That lookup never fills or overwrites these fields and does not infer parcel geometry, so every value saved from this form is one you type.
Every measured field below starts empty, on purpose. Aura holds no lot of yours to open on, and a rectangle it filled in for you would end up saved as something you stated. Until a frontage, a depth and three setbacks are here, there is nothing to check and nothing for the button to write.
State the whole lot here. The setbacks you give are taken off it to get the buildable rectangle. A plot carried over from one of the demonstration records on this page is the opposite case — its width and depth are already what is left after setbacks, so those are stored as zero. Reading one as the other would take the same land off twice, or take none of it off at all.
These setbacks are your numbers, not the bylaw's. Aura has not read this district's setback table — Zoning Bylaw 20001 writes setbacks in its own text rather than in an open dataset — so it takes the rectangle you state and does not correct it. Zero is a number you may type, and it is not a number Aura will fill in for you.
The slope control opens on Flat and the facing control opens on Not sure yet. Flat is where the control starts rather than something Aura knows about your ground; if it falls, say so, because that is a foundation cost on screw piles.
Nothing stated yet
Waiting on your lotNothing has been checked here, because nothing has been stated yet. Type the frontage, the depth and the three setbacks above and this block works out what your setbacks leave, against your numbers and no others.
Your lot answers one of the seven questions above and changes nothing else: the district dwelling minimum, the height ceiling, road access, water, private sewage and grid distance are exactly as open as they were. This rectangle is your statement rather than a survey, so this check can refuse the design and can never confirm it.
The button waits on the numbers above. Nothing is written while any of them is incomplete.
There is no project open in this browser to write this lot onto. Start or open a project — the same one the builder uses — and this lot goes onto its design.

A district ceiling is not a parcel permission. Overlays, special areas, Direct Control provisions and site-specific rules can lower it, and none of that is decided by the zone code alone.
District dwelling minimum
UnansweredDistrict dwelling minimum is not supported by connected evidence. Confirm it with the municipality, authority, survey, or qualified site professional.
Zoning Bylaw 20001 sets this in its own text rather than in an open dataset, so Aura does not restate it.
