Notice is hereby given that the City of Merritt Council will consider Zoning Amendment Bylaw 2410, 2025 for the property at 2326 Garcia Street (subject property shown on map) in the Regular Council Meeting scheduled on October 28, 2025.
PROPOSED CHANGES: Proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw 2410, 2025 would amend the zoning for the eastern portion of the subject property from “R1 – Low Density Residential” to “R8 – High Density Residential.” The proposed zoning will allow development of the subject property for High Density Residential, including townhomes and apartments.
