Hear from Michael Nelson, Planning and Development Manager; Jeff Da Silva, Director of Public Works; and Craig Guidinger, Director of Community Development, as they explain the proposed zoning changes, the critical need for infrastructure funding, and how you can share your feedback with City Council.
Introduction
The City of Prince Albert is applying for millions in federal funding through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund to upgrade our Waste Water Treatment Plant. But to qualify, cities like ours must allow four residential units as-of-right in low-density areas with municipal servicing.
This bylaw change keeps Prince Albert eligible for federal dollars — and helps prevent the cost of upgrades from falling on local ratepayers and businesses.
Please take a look at the Questions and Answers below to learn more about what is being proposed and how to share your feedback with the City Council before a decision.
