Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw 2025, No. 5510 (RZ001808)
A public hearing is scheduled to review proposed amendments to the city’s Zoning Bylaw. The changes are designed to clarify how several standards are interpreted and enforced, with a focus on agricultural provisions and minor inconsistencies tied to the Form and Character Design Guidelines now used for residential development. The goal is to ensure clearer guidance for property owners and developers while keeping the overall intent of zoning rules intact.
What the proposal would change
The amendments target textual clarifications within agricultural-related provisions and address small conflicts identified during the rollout of the Form and Character Guidelines for housing areas. Rather than a broad rewrite, the changes refine language to reduce ambiguity, promote consistency in decision-making, and improve predictability for future planning and development processes.
