This comes as the demand for housing continues to grow.

It predicts by 2046, the population is projected to increase by 34,700 people (+43 per cent), requiring over 16,000 housing units.

City Council is considering several amendments to its planning by-laws, reducing the steps required to approve residential developments, while still ensuring they meet Zoning By-Laws and design standards.
