ZONING BYLAW TEXT AMENDMENT: CARRIAGE HOMES, MINIMUM LOT FRONTAGE, RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE FRONT SETBACK

The subject of the Public Hearing will be Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw No. 2023-015.
The purpose of Bylaw No. 2023-015 is to make targeted text amendments with the goal of reducing barriers to residential development ahead of the new zoning bylaw which is many months away from adoption.
 
The amending bylaw proposes to permit carriage homes, also known as accessory detached dwelling units, in the RR-1, RR-2, and AGR zones, on lots of sufficient size based on servicing. The bylaw proposes increasing the maximum floor area of a carriage house from 90m² to 125 m². The bylaw also proposes to permit accessory residential suites in the AGR zone.
 
The amending bylaw proposes delegating the power to approve lot frontages of less than 10% of the perimeter of the lot to the Approving Officer, as permitted by Section 512 of the Local Government Act.
 
The amending bylaw also proposes to change the minimum front setback for residential accessory buildings and structures from 3.0m behind the principal structure to 3.0m from the front lot line for all residential zones.
 
Copies of the bylaw are available online as well as at the District Office, 615 Main St, Monday to Friday, 8:30am-12pm and 1pm-4:30pm, or can be requested at info@lillooet.ca. Council will consider the zoning amendments at the Regular Meeting on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, 5pm.

Submissions must be received by 4pm on September 5, 2023.  All submissions must include your name and street address and are considered public information, pursuant to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
