Council is being asked to direct staff to draft a bylaw amending Building Bylaw No. 1160 to phase in higher Zero Carbon Step Code emission intensity requirements for both Part 9 (residential) and Part 3 (larger commercial/multi-family) buildings. If directed, staff will prepare the amending bylaw for Council's formal adoption, establishing a stepped timeline toward stricter embodied and operational carbon thresholds. Contractors and developers should monitor this closely, as adoption would raise the minimum energy performance bar for new construction across building classes in the municipality.
