Land Use Bylaw Amendment, Remove Regulation 8.21(c)

About the Project

Select Engineering Consultants Ltd., on behalf of Landrex, submitted an application to amend Land Use Bylaw 9/2005, by removing regulation 8.21(c). Land Use Bylaw regulation 8.21(c) requires that lots less than 11.5 metres in width shall be located on through streets only. The Land Use Bylaw defines ‘through street’ as:

“A public roadway built to City standards, other than a lane, that has two separate points of ingress and egress. A lane cannot serve as a secondary route for ingress and egress.”

Non-through street designs, such as cul-de-sacs or p-loops, must have lots 11.5 metres in width or wider at this time.

If regulation 8.21(c) were removed, smaller lots could be subdivided on non-through streets, and more compact housing products with front driveway access could be placed on non-through street designs like cul-de-sacs and p-loops.

For full details, please see the public circulation letter. This letter, and figures 1 to 4, are available in the Key Documents section on the right-hand side of this page.

The circulation closed on March 3, 2022. To view the public feedback, please see the What You Said and What We Heard Reports, available under the Key Documents heading.
