Call it a 16-acre blank cheque.

Early Monday morning, the Katz Group filed a formal application -- along with a $70,000 application fee -- with the city to rezone a swath of the downtown, east of Grant MacEwan University and north of the Greyhound bus depot, as an "arena and entertainment district."

The land, which is currently home to the Baccarat Casino and acres of gravel-topped parking lots, would be upzoned to allow for a giant arena. The district would also be zoned for office towers, hotel towers, condo towers, a casino, several student residences, a retail mall and a smaller practice arena. The maximum height of the proposed towers would be 60 storeys, about twice the height of any current downtown building.
