Project Overview

Bylaw 500 Review and Update Project - Three Phases to Achieve an Updated Modern Bylaw

The Bylaw 500 Review and Update project includes three phases as follows:

Phase 1: Clarification and Housekeeping (Current Phase)

The purpose of this phase is a targeted review to address known problems with the bylaw and to improve bylaw components that are unclear, inconsistent, or are challenging to administer or enforce. A series of specific focus areas guide this phase. This phase will result in an updated bylaw with a fresh new look and feel.

Phase 2: Housing (Green Buildings and Affordability) and Land Use Contracts

Building on phase 1, phase 2 focuses on updating the bylaw with respect to encouraging green building and housing affordability. Also, this phase will review Land Use Contracts as they are set to expire in concordance with the Local Government Act.

Phase 3: Other

Phase 3 is intended to address the important, but less critical, components of the bylaw such as campground regulation update, park zoning and mobile home park regulations and standards, Phase 3 is also an opportunity to address issues that were not addressed in previous phases.
