The following topics and questions have been raised in previous consultation and are intended to guide feedback:

Topic 1: Eligible, Excused and Exempt Projects

Are the requirements appropriate for building alterations and for high-density areas?


Which projects should be allowed to submit alternative approaches?


Topic 2: Recycling Storage Space Requirements

How do the space allocation requirements compare to what is currently being built?


Can the recycling storage space allocated within the building be excluded from Floor Space Ratio requirements? Is this an appropriate incentive?


Should allocation of in-suite recycling storage space be required?


Topic 3: Impact on Municipal Processes

What staffing levels are required for administration?


Can multi-family buildings receive increased frequency of collection to reduce the number of storage containers and the size of the storage space?


Can the municipal building permit process confirm that recycling space and access requirements have been respected during construction?


Topic 4: Vehicle Access and Loading Area

Can the space allocated for collection vehicle access and loading on private property be excluded from Floor Space Ratio requirements?


Where should storage containers be placed on collection days, if collected from public alleys and streets? Should collection or loading be allowed on public alleys and streets?
