Densification – A Continuum
Densification did not just begin with
Bylaw 1352, it is a continuous process
The following slides show changes in
land-use since 1969
As lots become smaller…
The population grows Agricultural production diminishes Food security is reduced

Densification – are there limits?
At what point…
Are there too many people And too few farms?
What is the correct balance? When will that point be reached? Have we already gone past it? If we don’t set limits why engage in
land use planning?

Land Use Planning
Which is it… A serious process for community design
with a defined goal? OR…
Merely a series of Staff Reports and
Public Hearings to just slow down and the inevitable? Which would you like it to be?
