Meeting: Waterloo Region Inclusionary Zoning Discussion

Tue, 13 December 2022, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM EST 
35B Weber St W 35B Weber Street West Kitchener, ON N2H 3Z1

Waterloo Region and cities are exploring inclusionary zoning as a way to include affordable units in new housing along the ION corridor.

The Cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge have partnered, with support from the Region of Waterloo, to explore the feasibility of adopting a new tool to increase the supply of affordable housing. The tool, called inclusionary zoning, would allow the Cities to require private developers to include a certain percentage of affordable units within new, multi-unit housing developments along the ION transit corridor.

The intent of this session will be to discuss the concept, ask questions of municipal staff, and share your feedback.

We look forward to hearing your opinions and concerns.
