The Backyard Suites Design Guidelines were approved on January 15 with all recommended amendments. The Land Use Bylaw amendments, including those to add Backyard Suite to R-1, R-C1 and R-C1L (approved in March 2018), will come into force on January 29.

Council also approved the request to provide discretion for parking relaxations for suites in specific areas of the city (Attached Option 2 document). Council also directed that Administration consult with area Councillors to expand the parking areas map somewhat to include some areas east of Deerfoot Tr. and return to Council with an updated map.
