Hi Folks,
Now that the Housing Accelerator Fund motion has passed City Council, it looks like Winnipeg will be getting money from the federal government to build more housing. Part of that money will be used to completely rewrite Winnipeg's two zoning bylaws (the Downtown Zoning Bylaw from 2004 and the city-wide Zoning Bylaw from 2006). The two documents will be combined into one brand new document (not just an update, a full and complete rewrite). This process will likely take 2-3 years and will completely transform how Winnipeg is built over the decades to come.
Edmonton just recently passed a brand new zoning bylaw last month and that process took 5 years:
