The City of London has released the draft of its new zoning by-law, giving Londoners an opportunity to explore what is being proposed across the city, learn what it could mean for different areas, ask questions and provide feedback before the proposed by-law goes to Council for approval.
Through the ReThink Zoning engagement initiative, the City is providing information and tools to help Londoners understand the draft zoning by-law and what it could mean for their property and neighbourhood.
The draft zoning by-law supports the planning direction set out in The London Plan (London’s Official Plan). It sets out the rules for how properties can be used and developed across London.
Public engagement will continue throughout October and November, with Londoners invited to review the draft, and ask questions and provide feedback until November 20.
In-person drop-in sessions are planned at:
• South London Community Centre on October 22 from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
• Sherwood Library branch on October 27 from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Beacock Library branch on November 3 from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
• Bostwick Library branch on November 6 from 1:30 - 3 p.m.
• Covent Garden Market Pop-Up Booth on October 27 and November 3 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
A Community Information Session will also be held at Goodwill Industries (Horton Street) on Tuesday, November 24, from 7 to 9 p.m. The session will include a formal presentation and an opportunity to ask questions.
After the engagement period, the City will share what is heard, identify common themes, and explain changes made where applicable.
The draft zoning by-law, interactive map, educational resources, FAQs, and information about engagement opportunities are available at getinvolved.london.ca/rethink-zoning.
