Second Public Hearing Report

A second Public Hearing was held on April 13^th for the proposed new Zoning Bylaw. A Public Hearing Report that summarizes the input received is now available. Recommended changes to the proposed Zoning Bylaw include:

• Delaying the coming into force for the new short-term rental regulations to October 1, 2026;
• Reducing the number of criteria for granting an affordable housing development allowance so that the only criteria is that the project meets the definition of “affordable housing development”;
• That the development of mobile homes be enabled in more zones, specifically as a principal use in the proposed RCD zone and changed from a conditional use to a principal use in the proposed RSD zone;
• Allow indoor recreation on the ground floor in the proposed CNH zone;
• Withdrawing the proposed mapping change that would have swapped the residential and park zoning between two parcels in Whistle Bend Phases 9 and 10; and
• Other minor clerical changes or corrections.

The changes can be reviewed in the following ways:

• Public Hearing Report (May 4, 2026)
• A list of all proposed text and map changes
• Revised version of the proposed new Zoning Bylaw with changes tracked

Next Steps: The Public Hearing Report will be presented to the City Planning Committee on May 4, 2026.
