Motions

Miscellaneous Amendments – Zoning and Development By-law and Various Other By-laws and Land Use Documents

Carried Details

Moved by Sarah Kirby-Yung, Lisa Dominato Vote 9 – 0

Proposed by the General Manager of Planning, Urban Design and Sustainability to clean up and modernize language across the Zoning and Development By-law and several related documents, following the updated By-law that came into effect in November 2022.
Corrections included fixing spelling and grammar errors, updating cross-references, and aligning wording with current writing standards.
Terminology updates replaced older housing terms (e.g. "one-family and two-family dwellings," "single family dwelling") with current terms (e.g. "single detached house," "duplex") across the Sewer and Watercourse By-law, Water Works By-law, and Downtown Eastside/Oppenheimer Official Development Plan.
A new definition for "infill single detached house" was added to the Sewer and Watercourse By-law to reflect newer housing forms.
Sign By-law corrected to assign a development site at Main Street and East 2nd/3rd Avenues to the right schedule; Sign Fee By-law corrected a spelling error ("Director on Planning" changed to "Director of Planning").
No public speakers or correspondence; the amendments were purely administrative with no policy changes.
