The City of Richmond is holding two public consultation meetings to discuss proposed changes to residential zoning regulations.

One meeting, on July 8, is intended for the general public while the other, on July 9, is intended for builders and developers.

The city created two meetings at Richmond City Hall council chambers to accommodate large crowds and to facilitate “good discussion,” according to city spokesperson Kim Decker. 

The meetings are part of an extended public consultation period that Richmond City Council approved last week.

At issue is complaints about large, new homes being built too close to existing ones and/or being built out of character from the existing neighbourhood. 

Meetings start at 4 p.m. with staff presentations at 5 p.m., followed by a Q & A.
