The City of New Westminster is making updates to their Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw to align with new housing initiatives and Provincial legislative changes.
The updates are focused on housing, with four housing initiatives being implemented:
• Transit-Oriented Development Areas;
• Accelerating Townhouse development;
• Exploring Infill housing development; and,
• Reducing barriers to non-profit affordable housing development.
The City needs your input! Housing is important and many changes are coming to New Westminster. They will be hosting open house events for you to learn more and discuss these initiatives with their staff. All of the events will have the same information and resources, questions for input, a kids’ booth, and light refreshments.
