Will the introduction of zoning have any impact on my property taxes?

No. Property taxes are calculated based on what’s actually happening on the property, not by the zoning.

How will the project affect me and my property?

The new planning documents, once adopted, will apply to anything you may want to build or develop on your property in the future. Existing land uses and associated structures (that were legally constructed) are protected under the Municipal Government Act as a “non conforming use” or “non conforming structure” and are not required to comply with the new LUB unless they are enlarged or the use is discontinued. Everything that exists legally remains the same

Are these documents set in stone?

Planning documents are dynamic and change over time to adapt to changing demographics and trends. Your elected municipal Council has the power to make changes to planning documents at any time.
