July 2024 Update: Apartment Areas 'Stream' Progress

The Apartment Areas “stream” of the Ambleside LAP has advanced through the adoption of Zoning and OCP Bylaw amendments.

Zoning Bylaw Amendment

On July 8, 2024, Council adopted the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment. This amendment increases the permitted floor area from 1.75 to 2.0 FAR for RM1 and RM2 zoned sites with no change to existing maximum heights, to facilitate balcony enclosures or amenity room conversions.

OCP Bylaw Amendment

On July 22, 2024, Council adopted the OCP Bylaw amendment with some reductions to proposed heights, to guide long-term change in the Apartment Areas. Council also indicated they anticipate further amendments to this OCP Bylaw in the Fall. Should Council direct any amendments, the webpage would be updated, and a public hearing would be scheduled.
