The Province has extended rezoning compliance for parts of Steveston

The Province has granted the City of Richmond an extension to comply with Bill 44 rezoning so that critical infrastructure improvements can be done before construction of multiplexes with up to six units on single family lots can occur.   

This follows a request by Council in May for an extension from the Province’s June 30, 2024 deadline to amend zoning to allow small-scale multi-unit housing in the area bound by Steveston Highway to the north, No. 1 Road to the east, Chatham Street to the south, and 7th Avenue to the west.
