Join us for one of two Clair-Maltby Secondary Plan workshops. In these sessions, feedback gathered at a public workshop in September on the moraine ribbon and on community park function, size and location will be shared. Participants will then be invited to apply those considerations to the shortlisted community park locations in Clair-Maltby.
Feedback will be used to help establish policy directions that will inform the creation of the secondary plan for the Clair-Maltby area. The final secondary plan will become part of the City’s Official Plan.

About this Event

We’re reviewing the existing Zoning Bylaw to ensure it aligns with the City’s updated Official Plan, reflects current zoning practices and works for you and your neighbours today and in the future. Really, we’re making sure all the pieces fit together to support our shared vision for growth as laid out in the Official Plan through a new set of rules. Those rules will be identified in the new zoning bylaw.
This workshop will include a presentation by staff on the options and recommendations for commercial zoning. This will be followed by small group facilitated discussions about many aspects of commercial zoning including where drive-throughs and gas stations are allowed and how commercial buildings fit in with surrounding residential areas.
