Did you know - answers to a range of frequently asked questions can be found on both the project site (planrmwr.ca) and the municipal site (westriverpe.ca). One question we get asked a lot is about whether people will have to change existing lots or houses. The proposed standards are for new buildings (such as setbacks) and new lots being subdivided. In the current drafts, residential uses will be permitted in the proposed Rural Area, Rural Residential, and Commercial Industrial zones.
