August 2019
Early in 2019, Burlington City Council voted to re-examine the policies in the adopted Official Plan, specifically the policies for downtown Burlington. Over the next few months, the City of Burlington will be looking for your feedback and ideas to help refine and improve the downtown policies. This is your opportunity to help shape the policies that will guide development in the downtown, including the height and density of buildings.
