PURPOSE OF REPORT
This report discusses proposed amendments to the Land Use Bylaw to reflect current Land Use District designations and to ensure consistency between Figures within the Bylaw related to the Downtown. The amendments are proposed to the Downtown Residential District (Section 8), Mixed Commercial District (Section 9), Downtown Land Use District (Section 11), and Parking Regulations (Part 7).
Amendments to Figures 12, 13, and 14 are proposed to be amended to remove inconsistencies between Figures or other sections of the Land Use Bylaw. Figure 23(a) is proposed to be amended to change the labelling of heights listed in the legend from storeys to metres. The update to Figure 23(a) is required to ensure greater clarity and consistency regarding units of measurement within the Land Use Bylaw. Lastly, amendments to the parking requirements for the Downtown are proposed to provide greater clarity for the type of development existing and proposed in the Downtown.
The proposed amendments do not change the intent of the regulations.
