Studying the potential for more downtown housing

Planning consultants and city planning staff are walking around downtown Terrace today and tomorrow (February 6 and 7) assessing commercial and residential buildings. This is part of a project to identify opportunities to increase residential housing downtown.

The City is aware of housing challenges and the need for higher-density, affordable, market housing near services and amenities – for example, townhouses or apartments in downtown Terrace. Our consultant, Urban Systems, is conducting a zoning and commercial-demand analysis to support discussions about land use policy changes that support more housing options being built downtown Terrace.

This study is part of the City’s Official Community Plan Update and efforts to increase housing in Terrace.
