The above text says that Phase 2 of the zoning bylaw rewrite will take place within the HAF timeline. I'm unfortunatley not too sure what is meant by "within the HAF timeline." I just read through the HAF application and the only date I can find is Sept. 1, 2026, which is a long ways away. Hopefully it doesn't take that long to get the new bylaw passed (3 more years lol) but it could.
The Housing Accelerator Fund application can be found under Item #12 using the following link:

My understand of the zoning bylaw rewrite process is as follows:
Phase 1: Preliminary Report (Clarion Report): Already completed
Phase 2: Detailed Report/First Draft of New Bylaw: Consultant to hopefully be hired within the next few months. My guess is that this will take about a year.
Public Engagement: Probably some sort of public hearings and a chance for the general public to give their input. Probably will take a few months.
Phase 3: Updating the Draft Bylaw with the public engagement feedback: Probably will take a few months.
Vote by City Council: Will probably have to go through the different committees, so might take 2-3 months.
In total, we're probably looking at 2-3 years until the new zoning bylaw is passed.
