Rural Zoning By-law Project - Discussion Paper

Members are encouraged to review the discussion paper for understanding and to highlight any items of concern to the agricultural sector.

The draft Discussion Paper outlines preliminary options to address several key issues as well as discusses a potential format for the new document.  Planning Division would like your comments and input to help the City as we start to prepare a draft New Rural Zoning By-law over the next several months.  Some questions you might want to ask yourself are:

• What opinions do you have on the key issues the City has identified?
• Are there any other issues you believe should be considered as part of this zoning by-law review?
• What map format would be easy for you to read?
• Do you have a preference between the traditional form currently used in the City zoning by-laws or a table-based presentation of uses and regulations?
• How would you like to be able to access information?

Please provide comments by March 15, 2020 to [email protected].
