Motion – Councillor J. Leiper – Shelter Use in all Zones

Council was asked to

1. Direct staff to bring forward a proposed amendment to By-law 2008-250 that would permit shelter use in all urban zones, consistent with the proposal in the draft comprehensive zoning by-law and Official Plan, at the earliest opportunity; and, Approve that “shelter” shall have the same definition as that in By-law 2008-250 until such time as that may be amended through a future new comprehensive zoning by-law.
2. Approve that regardless of the modification to By-law 2008-250 effected as a result of this motion, any shelter use at 40 Hearst Way would be required to seek a re-zoning to permit shelter as a use, and that staff provide the necessary zoning language to give effect to this direction.
