What is happening to Public Hearings?

As part of the legislation, the Province no longer allows public hearings for rezoning for housing projects that are consistent with the Official Community Plan. Public hearings will continue for commercial, institutional and industrial projects, or for the consideration of rezoning applications that are not consistent with the Official Community Plan.

The new rules still require the City to notify the public of zoning changes. This will include:

  • Mailing notifications to owners and tenants of properties undergoing rezoning, as well as people who live within 100 metres
  • Posting a notice on the City’s website (coquitlam.ca/PublicNotices) or through the City’s email subscription service (coquitlam.ca/NotifyMe)
  • Displaying a development application sign on the site
