Overview
The City is undertaking a zoning study that will determine appropriate locations for local commercial zoning within residential neighbourhoods.
This study forms part of the Zoning Consistency Team's (Planning and Growth Management Department) work plan approved by Council. Existing shops and stores, such as convenience stores, barber shops, small laundromat, florist, and café's are often located in residential areas where present zoning may not permit these businesses beyond what currently exists. The study proposes to rezone these sites, where appropriate, to permit these businesses to continue to contribute to their community. The study will also consider possible new locations for, scale of, and provisions for, neighbourhood focused commercials uses that might fall between a home-based business and full-fledged retail store.
