Mississauga needs more housing options for families, older adults, students and the next generation who want to live in the city.
Currently, many homes in our neighbourhoods are located on large lots with two or fewer residents. The result is that some neighbourhoods are seeing their populations shrink despite a city-wide need for more housing.
The City’s Zoning By-law regulates the types of buildings that can be built in different parts of the city and how those buildings are used. Updating the City’s neighbourhood zoning to allow more housing choices like semi-detached and smaller detached homes is one way to add density in a gentle way.
You’re invited to join an upcoming virtual community meeting to learn more about the neighbourhood zoning review:
* Northern Mississauga (Wards 5, 9, 10, 11): Thursday, November 7 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Central Mississauga (Wards 3, 4, 6, 7): Thursday, November 14 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Southern Mississauga (Wards 1, 2, 8): Thursday, November 21 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to attend the session for their ward, but are welcome to join any meeting that fits their schedule.
