The proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw would add a provision that
"each strata lot in the building shall be used for only one dwelling unit".
This would allow the City to request removal of an illegal suite in either
side of a duplex without having to inspect the entire building and units that
are under different ownership.

Compliance Notices:

When an infraction of the Zoning Bylaw is discovered, the Bylaw Department
currently issues a notice requiring the property owner to compiy with the
Zoning Bylaw within 21 days. An amendment to the Zoning Bylaw should be made
to include this enforcement practice.

DISCUSSION:

Both amendments to the Zoning Bylaw are minor and of a housekeeping
nature. They will not alter the City's enforcement powers and will provide a
clear basis for the couwpliance notices now being used by the City.

The amendments have been vetted by the Municipal Solicitor. It is
therefore recommended that the changes be approved and that the Municipal
Clerk be authorized to bring forward an amending bylaw.
