Council will be considering a First Reading at its Regular Council Meeting held at 1:00 pm on Monday, July 27, 2026 to consider Amendment Bylaw No. 723, 2026. This hearing will be held at the Community Centre and online via Zoom.

Project Description

This amendment will create a zone variation of the Settlement Residential (SR2) zone which applies to 1658 Mount Gardner Road and allows a smaller minimum lot size. The amendment was requested by the owner of 1658 and 1639 Mount Gardner Road in order to allow them to legally separate the two areas of the property, which are currently under one title even though they are separated by Mount Gardner Road.
