The District of Sparwood will be updating its zoning and off-street parking bylaws after collecting the community’s thoughts.
The bylaws were originally adopted in 1981 and 1988 respectively and are now being updated to improve clarity and address outdated regulations.
The district received 228 survey responses between June 26 and July 31.
73.6 per cent of respondents were familiar with the current bylaws, but only 22.5 per cent had used them for a project.
Nearly half the respondents has a challenging time understanding the bylaws.
District staff said most residents feel parking is adequate across zones, but there are concerns about vehicle congestion and driveway regulations.
The district will be hosting a series of workshops this fall to explore specific issues and collaboratively develop solutions.
The Chamber of Commerce is also conducting a survey with local businesses and the findings will feed into the workshops.
