2023.PH8.3

Background

“The Provincial Growth Plan supports intensification and building ‘compact and complete communities’ as a strategy to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and plan more adaptive communities that are resilient to the impacts of climate change. Removing regulatory barriers to creating additional low-rise housing, including those within the citywide Zoning By-law, is an important intensification strategy that promotes a more efficient use of land and resources.”
