Zoning Bylaw Update

Update December 13, 2023: On November 27, 2023, staff presented the Phase 1 Report and Engagement Summary to Council. Throughout Phase 1, we heard feedback on housing affordability, transportation infrastructure safety, the changing nature of work affecting travel patterns and space needs in buildings for home and business, as well as greenspace and tree canopy, and so much more.

Help modernize the City's Zoning Bylaw!

We are updating our Zoning Bylaw to create a modern document that is user-friendly and adaptable to the needs of our community, both now and in the future.

Zoning shapes the way your neighbourhood looks and feels by setting the rules for where different types of housing and businesses can be located and the design and size of buildings.

Through our Zoning Bylaw Update, we aim to:

• Develop a user-friendly Zoning Bylaw that is aligned with City policies and directions
• Develop an innovative and equitable Zoning Bylaw that is flexible and socially conscious
• Streamline and simplify Zoning Bylaw regulations and related services and processes

The Zoning Bylaw Update will take place over the next two years with opportunities for community input throughout the process.
