Multi family infill of 3 or more are ruining what people love about their neighborhoods and why they chose to purchase in a given area. Stricter guidelines need to be applied and followed.

I fully support the withdrawal or significant amendment of 20001 to prevent further erosion of my beloved community.

I live in a mature neigh iyrhood where the new density policies are having a devastating impact.

Proper planning is needed. A blanket approach to zoning rules does not take into account how areas can be serviced properly from public transit to parking, to infrastructure such as water, electrical and drainage. There are solutions, with proper thought and planning.

City council is not listening to the people they are supposed to be working with for

Because we have a large duplex with basement suites next door, 2 more across the street, at least 1 also has a garage apt. 1 house away is an 8 plex. A few houses north of us their is a huge house (supposedly single family but looks like a basement suite) plus a huge garage apartment. For over a year we have 2 large garbage containers on our street which hinders street cleaning & snow removal. That is just 1 block in my neighborhood of Prince Charles.

Our old neighbourhoods are important to protect ! Young families need smaller affordable 3 bedroom bungalows to enter the housing market and become part of the community!

We live in Millwoods we have condos, duplexes, walk up apartments, low income housing. Why the new areas not the same variety of housing? They have few apartments that I am aware of. City council has let everyone down no control of these so call developers why is that I ask. This is important that everyone beware as it can happen in your neighborhood truly

A eight apartment building is going to be built across the street we have this to look at from our living room! Blocks everything way too high! I was going to sign it. I was going to sign it well I’m scared if I if I read it and sign it it’s gonna take it away so I’ve got Steve and Donna Kaulback in our email address.

We moved to our current neighborhood 5 years ago for our retirement. We chose it specifically for the quiet, street, mostly single family homes, duplexes. We are acros from a church that is now planning to move and the prospective buyer wants to zone it as a 4 story apartment, with multi use ground floor uses. (Ie, cannabis, mini mart, etc, etc...( right across the street. Not what we envisioned for our retirement, that's for sure.

The city has taken an irresponsible approach to infill development

This bylaw is irresponsible to the citizens that have bought in the neighborhood they have chosen because of the peace and security they found in them. The city mayor and council have undermined those who enjoy their neighborhood like we do here in Menisa. Irresponsibility by the council was also demonstrated by not consulting with fire, police or EMS during the process. Increased parking and traffic with these new developments will be of great concern.

Please rethink the infill policies and bylaws. They are having extremely negative effects on mature neighborhoods, without proper consultation. A moratorium on new infill permits would be helpful until more consultation and discussion with communities/ citizens is had

We are next to an infill. It will be 8 units in our quiet single home community. There will be no parking ...no place for 16 garba/recycling bins. The building will not have similar setback as the other homes.There is already too much load on the electrical and water. The crime will go up due to the affordable housing and our property will lose value next to this eyesore.
