Please join the Town and the Affordable Housing Task Force for a Community Conversation on May 13, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. in Community Rooms B & C on the third floor of the Collingwood Public Library, 55 Ste Marie St. Up for discussion are updating the rules for Additional Residential Units (ARUs) to consider permitting three (and potentially four) dwelling units on serviced residential properties as of right, changing parking rules for ARUs and other housing types, and discussing other matters related to the implementation of the Affordable Housing Master Plan.
This municipally initiated process seeks to fast-track key recommendations from the Affordable Housing Master Plan to implement some ‘quick wins’ to encourage an increase of housing supply and affordability in Collingwood. This is an opportunity to understand the scoped challenges we are facing with ARUs and parking as a community so that we can work together on solutions that prioritize affordable housing in Collingwood! There will be light snacks and great conversation about changes to municipal regulations.
The housing issue cannot be solved by any one group alone – it requires a collaborative effort from all of us. That’s why we’re asking you to come together as a community to address this issue.
