Item 5.1 · Public Hearings

Municipal Development Plan Amendment Bylaw 405.7 - Map 1

Proposed (agenda)

A public hearing on Bylaw 405.7. The bylaw adds a note to the future land use map (Map 1) in the City's long-term growth plan, called the Municipal Development Plan. The note says the map is a broad planning guide, not an exact zoning map. This could mean fewer separate approvals, public hearings and fees for developers when a proposal still fits the plan's overall direction.

Decided (minutes)

Mayor Hibbs opened the public hearing at 6:00 p.m. Acting Manager Bakoway presented the bylaw. No one came forward to speak for or against it, and the hearing closed at 6:09 p.m.

Item 6.1 · Requests For Decision

Bylaw 468.3 – Community Standards Bylaw Amendment No. 3 – First and Second Reading

Passed

Proposed (agenda)

Proposed changes to the Community Standards Bylaw would clarify the rules for trees, hedges and shrubs that hang over alleys, roads or sidewalks. Residents would also have to bring the new recycling carts back onto their property by 7:00 a.m. on the second day after collection. After an education period, the proposed fines are $75 for a first offence, $150 for a second, and $300 for a third or later offence.

Decided (minutes)

Council gave the bylaw first reading and second reading. Both votes were unanimous. It still needs a third reading to take effect.

Item 6.2 · Requests For Decision

Bylaw 405.7 – Municipal Development Plan Amendment 405.7 – Second and Third Reading

Passed

Proposed (agenda)

Council was asked to give final readings to Bylaw 405.7. The bylaw adds a note to Map 1 of the Municipal Development Plan saying the map is a broad planning guide, not a parcel-by-parcel zoning map. The change aims to cut the number of separate plan amendments needed for development proposals.

Decided (minutes)

Council unanimously gave the bylaw second reading. Council then unanimously agreed to give it third reading at the same meeting, and passed third reading unanimously. The bylaw is now adopted.
