Council for the County of Prince Edward approved on Wednesday, March 16 amendments to the municipality’s comprehensive zoning by-law to support the development of affordable and attainable housing.

  • Creating a new urban residential zone (R4) with alternate (reduced) standards
  • Changing the minimum frontage, exterior side yard, and rear yard provisions for apartments in the Urban Residential Type Three (R3) zone to permit greater flexibility in site design
