At their meeting on February 9th, Council authorized staff to proceed with the public consultation process for the Amenity Cost Charge (ACC) and Bonus Density Zoning bylaws. Council also authorized staff to report back to Council with the results of the public consultation process and bring forward for Council’s consideration any related bylaws or amendments. The proposed ACC rates are highlighted in the tables below. 

Residential & Subdivision ACCs

Non-Residential ACCs

An amended city-wide bonus density program is being proposed that would allow additional development density within Zoning bylaw, in exchange for affordable housing and public amenities.

Key proposed conditions include:

• Minimum 10% of bonus density area of the building delivered as public amenities or cash-in-lieu
• Minimum 0.5% of gross residential floor area (of the entire building) secured as affordable rental housing or cash-in-lieu

The revised bonus density program is intended to complement the ACC framework and avoid duplication.
