Second Public Hearing for proposed new Zoning Bylaw

A second Public Hearing has been scheduled for the proposed new Zoning Bylaw. The Public Hearing will take place on Monday, April 13 at 5:30pm in Council Chambers at City Hall.

The Public Hearing on April 13 is an opportunity for residents to provide feedback on changes introduced to the proposed bylaw since the first Public Hearing was held in December 2025. These include amendments proposed by Administration after the first Public Hearing as well as subsequent amendments made by Council, including at a Special Meeting on February 12.

Changes have been made in various areas of the proposed Zoning Bylaw, including:

• short-term rentals;
• parking requirements;
• building heights;
• mobile homes;
• lighting; and
• evaluation criteria for affordable housing allowances.

The changes can be reviewed in the following ways:

• A Supplemental Report presented to Council on March 16
• A list of all text and map changes carried by Council up to March 23
• Revised versions of the proposed new Zoning Bylaw:
  • A version with all changes tracked and annotated
  • A clean version, including revised maps

In addition to attending the Public Hearing, residents can provide feedback on the proposed Zoning Bylaw by emailing publicinput@whitehorse.ca. Feedback will be received until 5:30pm on April 13.

Zoning applications will continue to be subject to the current Zoning Bylaw (2012-20) until a new Zoning Bylaw is adopted by City Council.
