Stratford apartment rezoning passes 1st reading

The Town of Stratford, P.E.I., took another step closer Wednesday night to approving a new waterfront apartment building.

• Stratford council to vote on waterfront zoning bylaw

The proposal for the zoning for the 79-unit building passed first reading at a special meeting of town council.

The vote was on a bylaw amendment that would rezone some of the waterfront land from mixed use to residential, and another part from public space to residential. The changes have been recommended by the town planning committee.

The building is being proposed by developer Tim Banks.

The amendment still has to pass second and third reading.
