At a public meeting Wednesday night, the City of Charlottetown unveiled the latest draft of its Official Plan — a blueprint for the city’s growth, development and infrastructure over the next 15 years.
The Plan includes policies designed to diversify the city’s housing supply, making it easier for people to find affordable and suitable places to live.
The City says key policies include:
- Encouraging secondary and garden suites for more affordable housing options within established neighbourhoods.
- Promoting mixed-use developments that combine housing with community spaces and commercial areas
- Promoting the construction of mid-rise apartment buildings along major corridors such as University Avenue and St. Peter’s Road
- Ensuring that new developments address the growing need for diverse housing types including affordable units.
