When: Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 7pm
Where: Electronic meeting, or by in-person attendance in Council Chambers, City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody, BC (see portmoody.ca/ph for details and instructions)
Port Moody Council is holding a Public Hearing to consider the following proposed bylaws:
- City of Port Moody Official Community Plan Bylaw, 2026, No. 3522, Amendment Bylaw No. 1, 2026, No. 3547 (Density Bonus)
- City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw, 2018, No. 3927, Amendment Bylaw No. 117, 2026, No. 3549 (Density Bonus)
What it’s about: In response to Provincial legislation, the City of Port Moody is updating the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw to incorporate changes to the City’s Density Bonus program with an initial focus on affordable housing. Changes to the OCP include adjustments to permitted heights in the Moody Centre Station Transit-Oriented Area – Core to enable a requirement for affordable housing for heights up to 26 storeys, and consideration of heights above 26 storeys where amenities benefitting the community are provided. Other sections of the OCP are being updated to include enabling language for density bonus provisions in the Inlet Centre Station Transit-Oriented Area – Core and elsewhere in the City outside Transit-Oriented Areas.
The Zoning Bylaw is similarly being updated to reflect legislative changes and to specify the amount of affordable housing (or cash-in-lieu) required within future development applications utilizing density bonusing.
Applicant: City of Port Moody
Location: City-wide
