What's new - Council considers Zoning Bylaw updates
Council gave first and second readings, and directed staff to schedule a future public hearing, regarding proposed updates to a new Zoning Bylaw that, if adopted, would incorporate recommendations in the new Official Community Plan Update and Housing Strategy and consider the City’s rapidly growing population and housing objectives.
To learn more, view Staff’s Reports to Council in the Oct. 8 Regular Meeting Agenda.
The proposed Zoning Bylaw No. 0320 includes the following:
- Introduction of five new urban and neighbourhood centre zones, with corresponding changes to related regulations throughout the bylaw.
- Creation of a density bonusing program consistent with OCP direction to support the supply of priority housing.
- Update to parking regulations to address anticipated new mixed uses, density and built form.
- Key updates to regulation and interpretation based on feedback from staff, Council and the development community regarding the existing bylaw.
- Integration of identified corrections, errors and omissions from the more recent Provincial housing amendments related to Bill 26, 44 and 47.
- Mapping amendments.
