Public Meeting for the Residential Zones Project and new City Wide Parking Standards

The effect of the amendments are:

• To align the Low Density Residential permissions of the Urban Hamilton Official Plan with the uses permitted in the Low Density Residential Zones of Zoning By-law No. 05-200 thereby providing greater housing options within neighbourhoods for the residents of Hamilton;
• To apply the R1, R1a, and new R2 Zone to the communities of Ancaster, Flamborough, Glanbrook, Stoney Creek, and to additional properties in the former City of Hamilton, thereby bringing a greater number of low density residential properties across the City into city-wide Zoning By-law No. 05-200;
• To apply the R1, R1a, and new R2 Zone to certain Low Density Residential Designations in secondary plans, thereby expanding the residential permissions on these lands; and,
• Implement new City Wide parking standards.

A map of the lands affected by the amendments apply to Low Density Residential properties within the City’s urban area is available on the Residential Zones Project page.
