Public Hearing

Public hearings are still being held for rezoning applications of non-residential development applications. 

When a proposed rezoning application is brought forward for Council consideration, a notice containing details about the development will be posted as legislated required, which includes on the homepage of the City's website under the "News & Announcements" section.
