Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw - Development Permit Area Amendments - Form and Character for SSMUH Development and New Development Permit Area for Intensive Residential - Garden Suite

"Staff clarified that the OCP amendments establish DPAs strictly for controlling the design, look, and character of new SSMUH and garden suite developments, as the underlying zoning for these types of housing cannot be subject to public hearings under provincial legislation. Council supported the proposal to proceed to a public hearing and use expanded notification (newspaper ad) due to the community interest in Bill 44 implications."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the necessary notification requirements for a public hearing be prepared; AND THAT, in addition to the public notification requirements in the Public Notification Bylaw No. 1106, a newspaper advertisement be prepared."
