What's Happening

Bylaw 2/2026, if passed will amend numerous sections of the land use bylaw to:

  • update several land use definitions to provide greater clarity;
  • add “garden suites” and “garage suites” as new uses in the “Future Urban Development” District;
  • add “public utility building” as a new use on smaller parcels in the “Transitional District”;
  • add “group home” as a new use in “Area C” of the “Midtown District”;
  • redistrict a City-owned property with an existing stormwater management pond from “Trail Corridor Commercial” to “Public Park” for consistency; 
  • enable greater redevelopment options for existing land uses in the “Established Neighbourhood Overlay”;
  • reduce minimum parking supply regulations for apartments (excluding Downtown), townhouse plexes, supportive living accommodation, and affordable non-market housing; and
  • address clerical matters (e.g. numbering) and to clarify select regulations.
