Development Cost Charges Amendments

Consideration of Bylaws

Council adopted Development Cost Charges Amendment Bylaw No. 48-105, 2026, rescinding first, second, and third readings of an earlier amendment bylaw and now passing a version without exemptions that were unauthorized under provincial legislation. Specifically removed are clauses that cap the maximum development cost charges for a residential development and a clause that granted an exemption for an accessory building used specifically for storage. The original amendment bylaw received three readings in May 2026 with a focus on removing development cost charge exemptions for not-for-profit rental housing.
