The City of West Âé¶¹AV invites residents to share their thoughts on developing the Infill Housing Strategy. 

It will guide how the city can best use existing infrastructure to support new housing options. 

, requires municipalities to allow for increased density through infill development. In West Âé¶¹AV, zoning bylaws have been changed to allow up to four units of small-scale multi-unit housing on single-family lots. This could include duplexes with secondary suites, carriage houses, or townhouses in specific zones.

The city is interested in feedback on several key areas:

•Community's goals for infill housing;
•Integrating infill successfully with existing neighbourhoods;
•Types of infill housing residents want to see in different parts of the city;
•Considerations for the design and character of infill developments;
•Overcoming barriers to infill development.

Residents can participate in the Infill Housing Strategy by visiting the to learn more about the strategy, take a survey, ask questions, and request a paper copy of the survey.

The deadline to participate is July 15.
