Growing Together West update

Council approved Growing Together West in March 2024. Since then, the City received two site-specific appeals on Zoning By-law Amendment 2024-065. This means that the new Strategic Growth Area (SGA) zones remain under appeal.

On June 19, 2024, Regional Council approved the Growing Together Official Plan Amendments. The Region made a modification to Official Plan Amendment 49 (OPA 49). It requires a height limit in zoning for lands zoned SGA-4. This was based on recent aeronautical studies completed by the Region. A future City-initiated zoning by-law amendment will be needed to carry out this policy direction.

The appeal period has not yet closed on the Region’s approval of the Official Plan Amendments. Until it does, we will continue to dual test applications within the Growing Together geography.
