Continuation of the Public Hearing held on August 4, 2022.


Council is considering four bylaws:

  1. A bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan to support implementation of the Missing Middle Housing Initiative, including supporting three storeys within Traditional Residential areas and establishing a new development permit area (DPA 15F, Missing Middle Housing) to regulate the design of Missing Middle developments.
  2. A bylaw to amend the Zoning Regulation Bylaw to permit houseplexes, corner townhouses, and heritage conserving infill housing forms
  3. A bylaw to amend the Land Use Procedures Bylaw to delegate approval of Development Permit applications without variances to the Director of Sustainable Planning and Community Development.
  4. A new Affordable Housing Standards Bylaw which would specify the qualifying incomes and maximum rent rates for below-market ownership and affordable rental housing.

Council is also considering approval of an updated Tenant Assistance Policy to specify the tenant assistance provisions necessary to qualify for a partial development permit fee refund, as would be established by the Land Use Procedures Bylaw amendment.
