Description
A joint review through the Housing Accelerator Fund. The Town of Antigonish and the Municipality of the County of Antigonish are seeking qualified planning consultants to assist in increasing the availability of housing units by reviewing and revising various land use policies and bylaws. The primary objective is to explore opportunities to increase housing density and diversity while ensuring sustainable growth, affordability, and compatibility with the community’s goals including the underrepresented community members. The scope will include reviewing existing Land Use Bylaws (LUB), Municipal Planning Strategies (MPS) accessory dwelling unit (ADU) zoning, local improvement bylaws, and specific components of subdivision bylaws.
The key objectives of this project include:
2.1. Reviewing the current high-density zoning in the Town of Antigonish Land Use By-law (LUB) to identify opportunities for revisions that will encourage increased housing density in the LUB and associated Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS).
2.2. Evaluating existing accessory dwelling unit (ADU) zoning in the LUBs and MPSs for the Municipality of the County of Antigonish (listed in Appendix A) to identify barriers and propose revisions for increased usage in the LUBs and associated MPSs.
2.3. Reviewing existing municipal bylaws associated with local improvement identifying options and barriers to promote housing development for the Municipality of the County of Antigonish.
2.4. Subdivision bylaw review for the Municipality for the County of Antigonish to identify changes or new options to encourage housing development.
2.5. Engaging with stakeholders for each of the above to ensure that any proposed changes are aligned with community needs and housing goals.
Please refer to Section 4 for a comprehensive list of deliverables for this review.
