Need clarity on how this would be implemented as current zoning bylaw setbacks and maximum coverage would often restrict any new unit construction on single detached unit lots especially in newly developed areas that are often built to the limits or close to the limits of the existing zoning bylaws

Thank you, Primer Ford. This was long due. Please make sure that the city and towns follow the good work you are doing. Let the cities and towns not try to put red tape and find loop holes for them to avoid doing this
This is with reference to the proposed "More Homes Built Faster Act".
If the intent is to permit 3 units per lot only in "settlement areas with full municipal water and sewage services", then the vast majority of "rural communities" is left out of this proposal.

re ERO number019-6197
Developers should NOT be relieved of paying "development charges" to pay for infrastructure, green space, etc. They have some social responsibility to create liveable neighbourhoods while they are enriching themselves so they can live a very privileged lifestyle elsewhere.

I do not support Bill-23 and the removal of R1 zoning. I specifically did not vote for the mayoral candidate who supported this initiative. While I understand the need for intensification and providing affordable housing to people, this will not address the issue.

Stop Bill 23. We are in a climate crisis. It will not provide the truly affordable and sustainable housing we need. What it will do is kill birds and wildlife, destroy vital green space and wildlife habitats, result in development of unsuitable and environmentally significant areas (i.e.

What about vacant land/property in settlement areas with full municipal water and sewage services?
It is not clear if "parcels of land," as defined in the proposed regulation for additional residential units (up to 3) also apply to new homes to be constructed on vacant land/property.
