It is City Council’s intention to hold a Public Hearing as part of their consideration of Bylaw C-1300-24, a proposed Land Use Bylaw amendment to extend the annual on-site parking restriction dates for recreational vehicles and all-terrain vehicles. The proposed changes apply to the parking of all-terrain vehicles and recreational vehicles on residential property (i.e., in private yards and not on-street parking), and include:

• removing snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles from the definition of recreational vehicles;
• adding a definition for all-terrain vehicles, which includes snowmobiles;
• clarifying when a Development Permit is not required for all-terrain vehicles and recreational vehicles;
• extending the on-site parking timeframe for recreational vehicles from May 31 to October 31 to April 15 to November 30;
• extending the on-site parking timeframe for all-terrain vehicles with wheels from May 31 to October 31 to year round;
• extending the on-site parking timeframe for all-terrain vehicles with tracks such as snowmobiles from May 31 to October 31 to November 15 to April 15.
