Zoning bylaw changes to be considered by Red Deer city council in April
Recommendations from the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) around basement suite regulations will be considered by Red Deer’s city council in April, when it receives a report on other zoning bylaw implementation updates.
During council’s regular meeting on March 24, it received a resolution from the MPC recommending it review the regulations applying to backyard suites, specifically height restrictions; lot size, site coverage and developed floor area; and historic neighbourhoods.
With multiple options before them, councillors voted unanimously in favour of postponing the consideration of the MPC recommendations until they see an updated report on the zoning bylaw, expected to be presented by the end of April.
At that point, council will have fulsome information regarding what the current picture looks like and what the best way to address these recommendations will be.
