Zoning Bylaw Amendments
• All Established Neighbourhoods
o Allowable Side Wall Area
o Site Width
• Category 1 Only
o Height of Front Door
o Front Porch Encroachment
o Sidewalk Crossing Bylaw

Allowable Side Wall Area Allowable side wall area is calculated using building height
and wall length. 1. Determine the building height (using the angular plane)
2. Determine the maximum building length o For sites 40 metres or less in wall length is 14 metreso For sites greater than 40 metres in depth the wall length is
determined by: Site depth x 50% - Front yard setback
• The side wall of the building shall not exceed this area. Sidewall area is all areas, located under eaves and facing the same direction.
• The maximum height of the building would continue to be 8.5 metres to the midpoint for peaked roofs.

Building Wall Height Calculation for Allowable Side Wall Area
For a side yard of 0.75 metres the wall height calculation would be 6.75 metres
For a side yard of 1.2 metres the wall height calculation would be 7.2 metres

Site Width – Category 1 Neighbourhoods
• Minimum site width to remain unchanged. o R1 – 15 metreso R1A – 12 metreso R2 – 7.5 metres
• The provision, which requires that the site will be 70% of the average, will be removed.
• 100 - 300 blocks of Saskatchewan Crescent West and Poplar Crescent will be treated as Category 2.

Site Width – Category 2 Neighbourhoods
The site width for the construction of new one-unit dwellings in Category 2 neighbourhoods shall be at least 60% of the average site width for one-unit dwelling sites fronting on the subject block face and the opposite block face, but in no case shall the site width be less than minimum standard metres.
