Also why I once saw one of those zoning amendment advertising posters on a gas station. The proposed change was in effect from “gas station” to “gas station with convenience store”. Utter nonsense. It would be about as reasonable for me to need a zoning change to put a swing in my backyard.
I think we could throw out at least half of the zoning bylaw and never miss it.
Indeed the zoning bylaw in Kitchener (and most other cities) tends to micro-manage the property classifications, as well as many other aspects. Like the Income Tax Act, it would be much better after a major simplification. But like the Income Tax Act, this is difficult from a political point of view.
