Implementation - Zoning Amendment Update 1: Notice of Public Hearing

The City has received an application to amend the zoning of lots 519, 520, and a portion of lot 518, known as the Copper Ridge Development Area Land Use Master Plan (Plan) site, from PS – Public Services, PS(x) – Public Services Modified, and PR – Parks and Recreation to FP – Future Planning, to ensure certainty and flexibility for future rezoning. The FP zone is intended to protect land in a generally undeveloped and natural state until specific zoning is determined. The Plan area will therefore be brought back before Council for rezoning in the future to align with the Plan. View all current and recent Amendments at: whitehorse.ca/amendments
