When: Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at 7pm
Where: Regular Council meeting attended by Electronic Meeting (see portmoody.ca/councilmeetings for details and instructions) or in person in Council Chambers, City Hall, 100 Newport Dr., Port Moody, B.C.

At the Regular Council meeting on July 8, 2025, City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw, 2018, No. 2937, Amendment Bylaw No. 109, 2025, No. 3511 (Housekeeping – July 2025) will be presented to Council for consideration of first, second, and third readings.

Pursuant to section 464(2) of the Local Government Act and section 9.16 of Development Approval Procedures Bylaw, No. 3417, a Public Hearing will not be held.

What it’s about: The purpose of these proposed bylaw changes is to amend the Zoning Bylaw with housekeeping amendments to:

·       Amend section 5.3.4(b) of the Zoning Bylaw to allow for a 2m² exclusion to the floor area calculation for each Adaptable Housing unit. This proposed change reverts this section back to a previous Zoning Bylaw provision due to a change in the BC Building Code; and

·       Amend section 5.3.4(b) of the Zoning Bylaw to provide the floor area ratio calculations for all uses other than Single Detached Residential, Semi-Detached Residential, Additional Dwelling Units, and Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing Dwelling Units, instead of for those said uses. This proposed change corrects a previous Zoning Bylaw amendment error.
