City Postpones Lindley Creek Public Hearing

The Lindley Creek Road Public Hearing has changed from 6:00 pm, January 12 to 5:00 pm, January 26.

“Staff and council feel it’s important to provide additional time to residents to provide input into the proposed rezoning,” said Manager of Communications Will George.

The proposed Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw and Zoning Amendment Bylaw would enable the creation of a townhome development, seniors only (55+) mobile home park, condominium development, and a large community park.

The conceptual plan includes 98 townhomes, 95 mobile homes, and up to 180 condominium units in several low-rise buildings. The proposed development would be constructed in phases, with an expected build-out of 10 years.

A park dedication of 9.49 hectares (23.46 acres) is being proposed. This is substantially more than the Provincial requirement of 5% of the property area. The park dedication would be 45% of the property.
