Burlington council approves Amendment to Burlington Housing Community Improvement Plan (DGM-35-26) 7-0

The City of Burlington sought a zoning by-law amendment at 1022 Waterdown Road to permit multi-residential use and facilitate an Indwell affordable housing project. A resident wrote in support of the application.

The City of Burlington identified housing challenges that impact the community’s well-being and future growth. The Plan’s objectives included fostering partnerships with homeowners, developers and community organizations to advance affordable housing, and fostering complete communities with new affordable rental housing near transit, schools and community facilities. The annual report would recommend any adjustments or amendments to the Plan, and the City could discontinue programs in the Plan without an amendment. Constructing or upgrading required off-site improvements for development or rehabilitation was eligible.
