Public Hearing
Public hearing on comprehensive zoning bylaw update
This public hearing considers Zoning Bylaw No. 2864, a complete replacement of Rossland's 2011 zoning code. The update aims to reflect current community goals and new provincial legislation, changing density allowances, parking requirements, building regulations, and land-use rules. Council will hear public comments before potentially adopting the bylaw.
- Minimum building width may be reduced from 4.5m to allow modular homes (e.g., 3.7m-wide unit)
- Employee housing unit definition being clarified to count multi-bedroom units as multiple units
- Floor area ratio definition changing from 'net' to 'gross', possibly restricting some designs
- Request to reduce Rural Residential minimum parcel size from 2.0 ha to 0.4 or 1.0 ha
- Updated parking requirements, tree regulations, and accessory building rules
