Notice is hereby given pursuant to Sections 94 and 124(3) of the Community Charter that at the Regular Meeting to be held on Monday, December 12, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. at the North Delta Centre for the Arts Theatre, 11425 – 84 Avenue,
Delta, BC, the City Council of the City of Delta intends to consider adopting amendments to Council Procedure Bylaw No. 5000, 2000.
In general terms, the proposed amendments contained in “Council Procedure Bylaw No. 5000, 2000 Amendment Bylaw No. 8205, 2022” will amend the requirement to hold a Public Hearing when the proposed zoning bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan. If a proposed zoning bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan and the City Clerk provides notice of the zoning bylaw in accordance with section 467 of the Local Government Act prior to first reading, then Council may adopt the zoning bylaw without holding a Public Hearing.
Through a bylaw amendment to the “Development Application Procedures Bylaw No. 4918, 1992 Amendment Bylaw No. 8208, 2022”, Council delegates authority to decide whether to hold a Public Hearing to the Director of Community Planning and Development. If the Director of Community Planning and Development decides to not hold a Public Hearing, then Council may reconsider that decision and refer the zoning bylaw to a Public Hearing at the time of first or second reading of the proposed bylaw.
Access to the proposed bylaw and other relevant information is available on the City of Delta website, delta.ca at: https:// delta.civicweb.net/filepro/documents
