Richmond Hill is updating its zoning by-law to match its Official Plan and new provincial rules. This draft covers neighbourhoods, employment lands, green spaces, and more. The update will shape what can be built, where, and how—like housing types, parking, and environmental protections. Residents raised concerns about infill, short-term rentals, and green space. Feedback is open now, and final changes will follow. The update supports housing goals tied to federal funding.

The City is seeking public feedback on three development proposals. At 11 Headdon Gate, the owner seeks to legalize an existing private school (Prestige School). At 0 Laurier Avenue, the proposal is to split a vacant lot into two for single-detached homes. At 13564 & 13580 Yonge Street and 40 Coon’s Road, a revised plan proposes an 8-storey apartment, 12 townhomes, and a detached home. The City is reviewing zoning, density, height, and community impacts.

The redevelopment proposal for 174, 176, and 180 Weldrick Road West includes 12 new three-storey single detached homes on a private road. There are concerns about neighborhood compatibility, floodplain encroachment, and zoning variances. Meanwhile, a separate proposal for 0 Longworth Avenue seeks to develop two five-storey mixed-use buildings, which city staff are still reviewing due to concerns about density, environmental impact, and zoning compliance.

On the agenda are requests for comments for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments for 1501 19th Avenue and 11 Harris Avenue. At 1501 19th, the proposal includes thirteen three-storey townhouse units on a private condominium road. At 11 Harris, the plan is for a ten-storey mixed-use development featuring 119 residential units and commercial space.

A request for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment seeks approval for a 10-storey high-density apartment with 229 units and three levels of underground parking (309 spaces) at 13572 and 13586 Bayview Avenue. Concerns include height & density exceeding limits, conflicts with urban structure policies, environmental impacts, and lack of affordable housing.
