Share your feedback on our final draft Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Regulations

Over the last few months, the Growing Together team has been working on the details of our proposed planning framework that will guide growth and change within Kitchener’s Major Transit Station Areas. We are pleased to present those materials here:

• Draft Official Plan Amendment
• Draft Zoning By-law Amendment
• Draft Official Plan and Land Use Mapping
• Draft Zoning Mapping
• Growing Together Community Brief, which provides an easy-to-understand overview of the project; and
• Growing Together Community Guide, which provides a more detailed and in-depth look at various factors informing Growing Together

Below is a brief video walkthrough of the basics of the community guide.

What do you think?

Please provide us your comments on the draft materials by November 30, 2023. We will then present our final report with your feedback to Kitchener City Council.
