The City of Richmond is considering a bylaw to restrict the size of homes built on the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve.
A new report will be presented Tuesday to Richmond’s planning committee, recommending a public meeting in March to discuss ALR-related issues such as limiting a new residence’s footprint, also known as the farm home plate.
Richmond planning staff said in the report that “the issue of regulating house size, farm home plate and setbacks, as well as the size of residential accessory buildings in the ALR, is anticipated to be controversial.”
