We want to hear from you!
Share your comments online
We are reviewing the existing zoning regulations to prepare revisions that support and enable additional units in Kitchener’s residential neighbourhoods. To contribute to that review, we are seeking feedback from:
- renters
- homeowners
- builders and others in the development industry
Your comments will help to inform zoning regulations for things like parking, setbacks, lot sizes, and where additional units could be located on a lot. We can accept comments until Feb. 4, 2024.
January Open Houses
Join us at one of our in person Open Houses to explore, in a hands on way, how four units might work on lots in existing residential neighbourhoods. Please feel free to drop-in any time during the below sessions and stay as briefly or as long as you like. You will have the opportunity to chat with staff, ask questions and provide feedback.
- Jan. 20, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kitchener Market (300 King St. East, upper level)
- Jan. 23, 3 to 7 p.m. at Stanley Park Community Centre (505 Franklin St. North)
- Jan. 31, 3 to 6 p.m. at Forest Heights Community Centre (1700 Queen’s Boulevard)
On Monday, March 25, 2024, Kitchener Council unanimously approved new Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. These enable up to four dwelling units on residential lots in Kitchener. They are only allowed where zoning permits single detached, semi-detached or street townhouse dwelling units. For more information, visit: About residential dwelling units
