On June 4, 2024, Council adopted Zoning Bylaw Amendment 3958, 2024, which implemented the new housing legislation passed by the Province through Bill 44: Housing Statutes (Residential Development) Amendment Act, 2023 (Bill 44) in November 2023. The City was required to amend its Zoning Bylaw to permit increased densities on lots currently zoned for low-density housing to allow for residential infill. Staff are now proposing Zoning Bylaw Amendment No. 3970, 2024, to improve language within the original bylaw.
