 Public hearing scheduled for Zoning Bylaw on June 24^th

Council gave first and second reading to an updated Zoning Bylaw, which incorporated several revisions to reflect community input shared this spring. A Public Hearing has now been scheduled for June 24^th at 6pm. Members of the public are invited to speak in person or virtually at the Public Hearing. Comments can also be submitted in writing.

Following the Public Hearing, Council will consider adopting the Zoning Bylaw, which provides regulatory guidance for building and development throughout Sidney.

The updated Zoning Bylaw reflects the recently adopted Official Community Plan and new Provincial housing legislation. Changes stemming from Provincial legislation are mandatory, including Bill 44, which requires that properties currently limited to single-family and duplex homes be permitted to accommodate up to three or four dwelling units, depending on lot size.
