FAQs
What is the Zoning Bylaw and Accessory Regulations?
What is a Zoning Bylaw?
The Zoning Bylaw is a comprehensive set of regulations for development permits, enforcement, subdivisions and development appeals. The Zoning Bylaw aims to shape the community and dictate the building environment of future neighbourhoods. This ensures the vision of the community is protected by sound planning practices that guarantee orderly and long-term planned growth with compatible land uses.
What are Accessory Use or Building Regulations?
Accessory use and building regulations are a set of rules within the Zoning Bylaw to regulate the dimensions, location and setbacks of accessory buildings and ancillary uses.
Why is the town reviewing the Accessory Regulations?
The Town of White City is seeking feedback from residents to identify what elements of the accessory use and building regulations are important to the community. The accessory use and building regulations impact the look and feel of your own property, the properties beside you and the properties across your neighbourhood. We want to hear from residents to ensure we are creating a regulatory environment that represents your interests.
When will Council make a decision on next steps?
By July 12th the Development Services Committee will review the information and make a decision whether to recommend amendments to the Accessory Regulations to council. Prior to this decision, we want to listen and learn from the community about what their preferences and insights are.
How can members of the public participate in the engagement process?
The engagement process is open to all Town of White City residents. The Town of White City wants to listen and learn about the community’s preferences related to the Zoning Bylaw and Accessory Regulations. Due to COVID-19, the public engagement opportunities will be provided virtually.
Our goal is to ensure the Town of White City’s residents have the information they need to participate and share their feedback and insights.
