This project is now complete. On Nov. 6, 2023 Kitchener City Council approved the revised land use plan for Lower Doon. Thank you to everyone who contributed. For more information, visit kitchener.ca/lowerdoon
The existing policies and regulations for Lower Doon were developed over 20 years ago, with some dating back to the late 1970s. The City is undertaking this project to update the planning policies and regulations that guide and manage growth within the community.
This project will carry out recommendations identified through the Lower Doon Land Use Study. As part of the project, the City will be addressing the following Land Use Study recommendation categories:
Protect heritage
Enhance the supply of housing
Enhance the public realm (through the ongoing Places and Spaces project)
Oversee property standards (through ongoing City By-law Enforcement procedures and protocols)
This project includes opportunities for community and stakeholder input, including input from Conestoga College. We have retained ASI Heritage to evaluate cultural heritage assets in Lower Doon and develop a new Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL) in the community.
How can you contribute?
As part of this project, members of the public will have opportunities to engage with us. We want to hear from you! Ask us questions using the Ask a Question tab below. Share your feedback on the draft land uses, zoning, and CHL materials using the Share your feedback tab below.
