Urban Development Institute, and Charnber of Commerce will also be given an
opportunity to comment on the proposed changes.

ii. Study Results

This study will be relevant to other suburban communities where there is
pressure to Intensify single-family areas. It will provide the City with a clear
policy on infill to address neighbourhood opposition and identify areas where
smailer lots will be permitted. At the same time, the City will ensure that large lot
neighbourhoods will he protected from radevelopment that will affect their

established character.

The associated changes to the single-family zoning regulations will help to keep .
new single-family development to a scale compatible with older, axisting
development. Current regulations allow for generous sizes of homes that often
conflict with the form of established development and therefore generate
negative views towards intensification.

By Identifying areas for infill, the study will promote diversity in housing choice
within the Clty. The wider range of lot sizes and housing types will ensure that
there are opportunities for creating more affordable housing. The Zoning Bylaw
amendments will result in a higher degree of compatibility batween new and
existing housing development. Attractive infill and small lot development will
therefore be promoted as a positive form of intensification,
