DISCUSSION:

The proposed revisions are intended to make the bylaw more practical, in
terms of its usea, and to encourage better siting of future development and
greater attention to landscaping along streets and in buffer zones next to
residential areas.

Some existing buildings may not conform to the new giting regulations.
However, any reasonable alterations or additions to an existing building may
be accommodated by a Development Permit or a Development Variance Permit. No
serious problems arising from these proposed amendments are therefore

anticipated.

The draft amendments have been vetted by the Municipal Solicitor and

suggested changes have been incorporated.
