By-Law Number C.P. 122-3 A Law to Amend the Subdivision By-Law of The City of Saint John

Public Notice is hereby given that the Common Council of The City of Saint John intends to consider giving third reading to the bylaw entitled, “By-Law Number C.P. 122-3 A Law to Amend the Subdivision By-Law of The City of Saint John” at its meeting of January 13, 2025.

As an initiative of the City’s Housing Accelerator Fund Action Plan, amendments to the Subdivision By-Law are proposed to streamline approvals for smaller-scale subdivisions requiring money-in-lieu of Land for Public Purposes. The amendments will reduce approval timelines for smaller-scale subdivision applications, which largely involve residential development.

The proposed amendments also include an administrative amendment related to the adoption of the active transportation initiatives of Move SJ, the City’s Transportation Master Plan.

In accordance with the Local Governance Act, the bylaw will be read in summary only, if no member of Council objects. 

Jonathan Taylor, City Clerk
