IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL SECONDARY SUITE OWNERSThe City of Edmonton`s Planning and Development Department is undertaken the second round of open houses to review the secondary suite issue.
They are opening the door to new changes but the last open house didn`t have much attendance so the changes to the bylaws were really few. This is our chance to have our voices listen.
Let`s take this chance and let the City of Edmonton`s Planning and Development Department know that we are responsible landlords providing affordable housing to all the newcomers.
If you are not able to attend please raise your voice through the Web Survey.
See invitation below:

2 in a two-part process to amend the text of the Zoning Bylaw to increase the opportunity for
Secondary Suites, Garage Suites and Garden Suites throughout the City, in accordance with
City Council`s request at the December 17, 2007 Public Hearing. Phase 1 Amendments were
adopted through Bylaw 14750 at the Hearing.
On December 17, 2007, Council requested that Administration bring back a Phase 1
monitoring report to the Executive Committee meeting on September 24, 2008, followed by a
Public Hearing on Phase 2 Amendments on November 17, 2008. As part of the process, the
Planning and Development Department is proceeding with gathering input on proposed
amendments and options for amendments to the Zoning Bylaw.
The open houses and the Web Survey are two of the ways in which the City is gathering this input.
