Youko Leclerc, a planner at Fotenn, outlines their work with various clients on diverse projects across a large regional area. Kingston is reviewing its Official Plan to expand the urban settlement boundary, aiming to support a projected population of over 220,000 by 2051. Proposed zoning bylaw amendments aim to facilitate intensification with measures like express transit areas and reduced parking requirements. While some community members resist increased residential density, feedback is encouraged. Looking ahead, Kingston aims for more mixed-use, mixed-density development, learning from past projects to apply best practices. The importance of community input in upcoming zoning decisions is emphasized.
