Why is the City considering a Temporary Use Permit for RMR employee housing in Johnson Heights when there is a neighbourhood planning process underway?

The Johnson Heights Neighbourhood planning process is in progress and not yet completed. The City will continue to engage with stakeholders to develop this long-range plan for the Johnson Heights area that respects the vision and guiding principles as established by the community to guide development for the next 20-30 years.

A Temporary Use Permit does not enable a permanent development and is only permitted for three years. Any extension of this Temporary Use would need to be considered by Council and align with the OCP policies in place at that time. 

Currently, the lands are zoned RR60 which allows for a temporary construction work camp for utilities, transportation and communications.
