The City of Prince Rupert has been sending a bit of advanced notice towards their next Public Hearing that is planned for Tuesday, February 21 at 6 PM.
The topic of note for that evening will be the proposed amendment is to allow Council additional discretion to permit building heights that are higher than contemplated in the original ‘heights framework’ of the Official Community Plan, IF the proposed building height is considered low impact in terms of view obstruction.
City Council hasn't had a lot of luck in attracting an interested crowd towards their recent public hearings of late.
A session in mid January related to proposed changes to some parking regulations in the downtown core attracted only two participants.
Though that consultation may get a second chance outside of the public hearing process.
While last week's Public Hearing on the city's revisions towards Container use in the city attracted No participants.
The City Council members last addressed the topic of building height in the downtown area in December of this year, when they received a report from City Manager Robert Buchan with no discussion to the theme at the time.
The City has some reading material available for those who may wish to participate in next week's hearing, among the notes:
