On January 12, Council referred a report back to staff for more discussion on establishing five new zoning districts. The proposed Districts are as follows:

• One new Employment “E1” District;
• One new Industrial “I1” District;
• One new Agricultural District – designated in the interim as “AM1” to differentiate it from the existing A1 District; and
• Two new public “P” Districts: “Parks, Open Spaces, and Natural Areas” and “Institutional” – designated in the interim as “PM1” and “PM2,” respectively, to differentiate them from the existing P Districts.

The City is requesting feedback on the proposed Zoning Districts, representing the next phase of the Zoning Bylaw Rewrite project. This is planned to be followed up by the “repeal and replace” program, where the City is rezoned to all the new districts adopted by Council. 

More information can be found in the full report by City staff.
