It is City Council’s intention to hold a public hearing as part of their consideration of Bylaw C-1356-24- Land Use Bylaw Amendment – Administrative Updates. Bylaw C-1356-24 is an administrative update of C-824-12 – Land Use Bylaw to provide additional clarity to existing districts and regulations, streamline planning and development approvals, and improve community aesthetics. The proposed amendment includes providing clarification on plan measurements; allowing freestanding signs within the R2CC – City Centre High Density Residential District; requiring residential parking spaces to be hard surfaced; and incorporating minimum site width regulations for Duplexes in the R1 – Mixed Low to Medium Density Residential District and updating the R2- Mixed Medium to High Density Residential District to refer to the R1 District regulations for Semi-detached dwellings and Duplexes.
