At its March 14 meeting, Council approved first reading of an amendment to the Land Use By-Law (LUB) to delete Schedule “G” Vending. Council also approved first reading of an amendment to the Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and LUB to delete Architectural Control Areas (ACAs). 

Deleting vending regulations from the LUB 

Council is scheduled to approve a new Vending By-law, likely in April. Once approved, this bylaw will regulate all vending activities within the Town. 

Currently, there are some vending provisions in the Town’s Land Use By-law (LUB). With the adoption of a new Vending By-law, having any regulations for vending in the LUB is not necessary. 

Deleting ACAs from the MPS and LUB 

Staff are working on a new Heritage Conservation District (HCD) plan and by-law to regulate architectural provisions for the Town. This new plan and by-law are expected to be presented to Council in the near future. 

Currently ACA provisions are within the MPS and LUB. With the adoption of a new HCD plan and by-law, having architectural provisions in the MPS and LUB is not necessary. 

Except for the proposed removal of the Tannery Road ACA, both proposed amendments are not deleting regulations, but rather moving them to separate documents.
