Parking Rules Stall Homes
Sarnia’s new zoning draft could make supportive housing far harder to build, even as demand keeps rising. The issue is parking rules that may force projects into council hearings, where several housing plans have already been delayed, cut back, or turned down. City data and recent projects show the pattern clearly. A 50-unit George Street supportive housing proposal was scaled down, then rejected, and now heads to the Ontario Land Tribunal in May. More than 900 households needing affordable housing, plus hundreds more facing homelessness.
