Restrictive Covenant a valid legal option - Mayor
2/23/20261 min read
Last week a motion by Councillor Karen Principe to lower the maximum number of dwellings permitted on midblock lots from eight to six was voted down 8–4 during Tuesday morning’s regular city council meeting.
Mayor Andrew Knack noted that in some neighbourhoods where lot sizes would permit eightplex developments, residents are pursuing restrictive covenants to prevent them from being built.
He added that restrictive covenants are “a very valid legal tool.”
In favour of reducing the number of dwelling units:
R. Clarke
M. Elliott
T. Parmar
K. Principe
Against reducing the number of dwelling units:
A. Knack
M. Janz (Windsor Park)
J. Morgan
E. Rutherford
A. Salvador
A. Stevenson
K. Tang
J. Wright
City Council will not protect your neighborhood from developments that negatively impact sunlight, privacy and property values. It is up to you.
