A Public Hearing has been scheduled for Monday, February 24, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chamber, 3400 30th Street, Vernon, BC in order for Council to receive public input regarding proposed “Commercial Zone and Downzoning Map Amendment Bylaw 6031, 2025”, which proposes to update the zoning map to address anomalies identified since adoption of Zoning Bylaw 6000 on June 24, 2024, to meet the Province’s deadline for implementation of Small Scale Multi Unit Housing.

Additionally, the bylaw proposes downzoning two properties in housing zones from medium density to low density.
