The City of Burlington has released the meeting agendas for its upcoming sessions from April 13 to April 16, 2026, which include a public opportunity to discuss proposed changes to local housing incentives.
The highlight of the week is a statutory public meeting scheduled for April 14, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. During this session, the city will gather feedback on a proposed amendment to the Affordable Rental Housing Community Improvement Plan. The plan, originally adopted by council in April 15, 2025, currently features 10 financial incentive programs. The new amendment aims to introduce a temporary program that would waive certain city development charges for eligible housing units over a two-year period.
Residents who wish to speak at the meeting can participate in person at the Burlington City Hall Council Chambers on the second floor at 426 Brant St., or join the session virtually through the city’s meeting portal. Those planning to speak as a delegate must register by noon on Friday, April 10, 2026. The same deadline applies for anyone wishing to submit formal presentation materials.
For residents who prefer to submit their input in writing, correspondence can be emailed to [email protected] by noon on Friday, April 10, 2026. Submissions received by this time will be distributed to committee members for review prior to the meeting.
The city is also holding Committee of the Whole meetings on April 13 and 14, followed by a Planning and Policy meeting on April 16. Additional information, including staff reports related to the proposed housing amendment, is available for public review on the city’s website.
