City Council will consider Bylaw No. 10219, The Zoning Amendment Bylaw, 2026 (No. 25) which proposes text amendments to Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024. The proposed amendments include housekeeping items and minor amendments to support effective implementation of the Zoning Bylaw.

City Council, at the Public Hearing meeting on September 25, 2024, approved Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024, replacing Bylaw No. 8770, Zoning Bylaw, 2009, following a comprehensive review undertaken between 2019 and 2024.

After approximately 18 months of administering Bylaw No. 9990, Administration has identified housekeeping items and minor amendments required to support effective implementation. The housekeeping items include corrections to minor drafting errors, omissions, inconsistencies, cross-references and other technical matters.
